The Essence of Winning and Losing

In 1995, Boyd distilled the essence of his OODA Loop thinking into a five-slide presentation which happily was preserved by Chester Richards. As posted on Chet's website, it appears to be authentic Boyd, even to the colonel's scrawled date and signature in the lower righthand corner of the first slide. However, I can't vouch for it myself, since I could find it nowhere in the Boyd Papers at Quantico Va. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
