Class Histories
The United States Air Force Academy has a rich history, written page-by-page with each new class. Every USAFA graduating class has their own unique story, that we will increasingly highlight online with the introduction of our Class of the Month program.

The Air Force Academy crest was created by Brig Gen Robert F. McDermott, Dean, in 1963. The emblem is symbolic of the Air Force Academy. Against a shield divided horizontally into three sections, white representing clouds, brilliant blue representing sky, and black indicating outer space, two geometric forms (symbolic of the upward motion of flight and the dual mission of Educational Development and Training for Military Leadership) point upward to the North Star symbol which represents the ultimate achievement.
