    OK, I'm on another sentimental journey. When I was a CAP cadet in
the early '70s, some of the USAF propaganda we had were AF brochures.
One of my favs was a magazine sized booklet which showed the different
commands of the USAF with a little color pic of the types used then.
For ADC it had the F-102 & F-106, for SAC the B-52 & KC-135, standard
fare I guess. Nearly all the models I built then were painted like
those in the booklet, I especially remember the Revell F-102 in gray
with yellow wingtips & red fin tip. Any of you older USAF types
remember this & better yet, where I can get another one? I hit eBay on
occasion but haven't found it. Thanks for the read.

No booklets but after my mother passed and we were cleaning out her stuff I
found my old CAP uniform that she had kept all those years.

I was a crusty Staff Sergeant back then and IIRC, you're probably
thinking of the Air Force Almanac that was/is published by the Air
Force Association in Arlington, VA. It had a page or two for each
command and some photos of their aircraft. It's still published today.
You might find some back issues on eBay if you search on Air Force
Almanac or Air Force Association. They also have a web site at
www.afa.org. HTH
