U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AFNS) — A 2019 Forbes article noted the highest percentage of people in leadership positions with science, technology, engineering and math degrees and control huge organization aren’t CEOs, which might be who the reader might expect —it’s four-star generals in the military.
Devin Cate, former director of the Air Force’s Test and Evaluation directorate, said that trend is likely to continue as leaders at all levels of the military prepare for a complex 21st century battlespace.
“We need to create a community of young engineers and scientists focused on cybersecurity, energy delivery and electronic communications,” Cate said. “Airmen will have to be comfortable operating advanced weapon systems or working in a command and control center, and they will need that strong technical background.”
Cate graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1983, where he majored in physics.

Halloween comes around every year and stories of the paranormal become the subject of fascination. People find them an entertaining mystery because human nature is always being challenged by things we cannot see or explain.
The military is never short on yarns with more unexplained events and individuals who have crossed over into the realm of the unknown.

I have several stories of haunts and the unexplained when it comes to the Air Force and aviators. The tale of a phantom P-38 Lightning in World War II was the one I was going to share, but another haunt from World War II made its way into my consciousness and tells me it’s the one I need to share.
Years ago, I wrote an article about a young RAF pilot, Cadet Meyer Bernard Himelstaub who made his way to America for training at Lancaster’s War Eagle Field/Polaris Flight Academy. It was a tragic story on so many levels, as the young cadet was a World War II refugee who had escaped Poland after the German invasion.
