摘要

Dating back to medieval times, the expression Hic Sunt Dracones, or one like it, adorned ancient maps and charts that marked unexplored territory. Fantastic, dreadful creatures such as serpents with wings symbolized the mysterious vastness lying beyond familiar, commonly traveled areas. Inadequate transportation, superstition, fear, or complacency prevented ventures into those regions so creatively adorned on maps of the day. As better vessels and circumstances expanded their capabilities, however, explorers gained the confidence necessary to step boldly and courageously beyond the known, comfortable world and take on the dragons of nameless lands. The United States Air Force has followed a similar path, as has its professional journal.
