Air Force Instruction 84-105 History: Organizational Lineage, Honors, and Heraldry The original version of A Guide to Air Force Heraldry was written by William M Russell of the USAF Historical Research Center and published in 1985. During the years that have elapsed since then, several Air Force regulations and instructions have been issued to aid Air Force organizations with the design, submission, and procurement of organizational emblems and flags. Recent changes in the organizational structure of the US Air Force and the high level of involvement in the Gulf War, Bosnia, and other contingencies by operational units have heightened awareness to the pride and motivation that heraldry provides. As a result, the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA) has received many requests for assistance and guidance in the creation of emblems. To facilitate the process, we have updated and published this guide on the Internet. Our success will be measured by the user’s ability to modify or create emblems meeting current Air Force requirements and the needs of the unit. Alan H Clair, Colonel, USAFR Julian C Godwin Montgomery, AL - November 1996
