He was the curator of modern military aircraft at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum until 2012. He earned his B.S. from the USAF Academy in 1981 and his Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina in 1996. He was assigned to the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board during the visionary New World Vistas S&T study in 1995. He was Chief, Air Force Doctrine, as a member of the Air Staff in the Pentagon. Daso has authored several books and contributed chapters to several more. His books include, U.S. Air Force: A Complete History (Hugh Lauter Levin Associates, Inc., 2006), Doolittle: Aerospace Visionary (Brassey's US, 2003), Hap Arnold and the Evolution of American Airpower (Smithsonian Institution Press, 2001; Special AFHF Edition, 2012; USAF 75th Anniversary Edition, 2022), Architects of American Air Supremacy: General Hap Arnold and Dr. Theodore von Kármán (Air University Press, 1997). The United States Air Force is the most technologically advanced service in the world. Stealth, precision, global range, and space systems are only a few of the hallmarks of USAF technology. Airborne laser weapons, super-accurate sensors, and hypersonic aircraft are already in the early stages of development. Creations such as these are not the product of stagnant minds or idle hands. It was in 1944 that General of the Army Henry H. Hap Arnold established the Army Air Forces AAF Scientific Advisory Group SAG under the direction of Dr. Theodore von Karman. The SAG meticulously created the first science and technology forecast ever accomplished in military history. The study predicted many of the developments in aviation technology which, today, most Americans take for granted. Some of the more outstanding of these are supersonic flight, precision weaponry, accurate radar, and the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles ICBM. In Architects of American Air Supremacy, Dik Daso tells the story of the founding of the scientific and technological base of today's USAF. But this work is much more than simply a history of technology. The SAG was a culminating point reached only after many years of building interpersonal relationships, developing industrial bonds, and tapping the wisdom of Americas most influential scientists. In large measure this book reflects the symbiotic nature of the military and the society which it serves. This book is an introduction to the very nature of the USAF-a service founded in aviation science and technology and built by great commanders, innovators, and dedicated men and women in the service of their nation.

Condition: Very good. 72 drawings in pencil, watercolor and/or crayon all either drawn directly on artist's board, or on sheets mounted to artist's board; the boards measuring from 14" x 10" to 15" x 12". 33 have proposed fabric swatches attached, with an additional two that are loose. Generally very good or better with overall light to moderate edge wear, though some corners show heavy wear; one sheet lacks the board to which it was presumably mounted. This is a collection of costume designs and fabric swatches by an accomplished artist who signed them "dik." The collection contains eight drawings for The Marriage of Figaro, five for Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine, 28 for Cabaret and 31 for Anything Goes. Each is a detailed character study and several of the characters are shown in multiple costumes. For Cabaret, there are eight different drawings for the character of Sally Bowles, five different for Fraulein Schneider and three for Fraulein Kos. Anything Goes includes five different for Hope Harcourt, five for Mrs. Harcourt, four for Reno Sweeney and two for Moonface Martin. The only clues we could locate as to the artist and actual productions are one full name and several last names of performers on the drawings from Anything Goes. While those clues led us to dead ends, this is nonetheless a captivating and colorful collection of the work of an as-yet unknown costume designer.
