AFRC launches history coloring book contest

Do you like to learn about history? Do you like to color?

Well now you can do both because the Air Force Reserve Command History Office has developed a unique coloring book for anyone who wants to color a century of Air Force Reserve history.

From the very beginning of combat aviation in World War I to today's missions in air, space and cyberspace, the Air Force Reserve has been an integrated and flexible part of the nation's defense.

The AFRC History coloring book, which includes original artwork by 507th Aerial Refueling Wing Reservist Senior Master Sgt. Darby Perrin and AFRC historian Maj. Warren Neary, is the first of its kind.

History doesn't have to be boring. "We love history," AFRC historians said. "And we wanted to come up with a fun way for kids of all ages to learn about Air Force Reserve heritage."

This is your chance to experience that heritage from Frank Luke to the famed Tuskegee Airmen; from the airplane loadmasters nicknamed "Old Shaky" to the stealthy F-22 Raptor.

Anyone of any age can put their coloring skills to the test with this book.

In addition to rolling out this one-of-a-kind coloring book, AFRC will be holding a coloring contest. Anyone age five and up can enter and compete in the contest.

For more information on the coloring competition please refer to the contest rules in the attachment below.
