Air artillery units have proud heritage dating back to the dawn of this country's history when the colonists erected fortifications and emplaced artillery pieces to defend against attack from the sea...... Lineages, honors, heraldic items, and bibliographies of the twenty-four regiments in the force structure at the end of 1982.
This volume investigates the historical lineage, heraldry, and organizational evolution of United States Army Air Defense Artillery units. Janice E. McKenney, a historian with the U.S. Army Center of Military History, compiles official records to document the institutional heritage of these specialized combat forces. The work serves as a formal reference, synthesizing archival data to preserve the honors and structural history of the branch.
