Conversations: Preserving History at the National Museum of the U.S.A.F. w/ Meghan Anderson
Description
In this episode, we're joined by Meghan Anderson, Manuscript Curator in the Research Division at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, where history is preserved not just in aircraft but in the words, records, and personal papers of those who lived it.
Meghan takes us behind the scenes of one of the world's most important military history collections, exploring how letters, diaries, mission reports, and firsthand accounts help historians reconstruct the human experience of air power, from World War II bomber crews and Cold War strategists to modern aviators operating in an age of drones and digital warfare.
