My son ships out for Air Force basic training on December 8th, so we're doing an early Christmas. I'd like to give him a good coffee table book on the history off the U.S. Air Force. Does anyone have a suggestion on a certain book? Thanks guys.

I'll look when I get home, but it seems to me I gave my father (USAF 1952-56) one called I Always Wanted To Fly, which he lent back to me to read.

Best wishes to your son, my father really enjoyed his time in the Air Force and talks about it a lot.

A suggestion:

Beyond the Wild Blue: A History of the U.S. Air Force, 1947-1997
by Walter J. Boyne | Jun 15, 1998

or, more recently:

https://smile.amazon.com/Beyond-Wil...2358113/dp/0312358113/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Amazon has it used. And, it's available new at $60+.
