John Boyd Patterns of Conflict Part 1

This is a video of John Boyd delivering his Patterns of Conflict lecture. The audience appears to be a group of Congressional staffers in former Iowa Congressman Jim Lightfoot's office. The year of production is unknown, but my best guess is mid-to-late 1980s. I copied this from a tape in the Boyd Collection at the USMC Archives at Quantico, Virginia, in 2007. The tape's audio wasn't the best quality (recommend using headphones). The lecture is over 6 hours, so I'll probably have to break this into 12 or more parts. Each part takes a long time to upload, so it will be a few days/weeks to get the entire lecture online. Boyd's acetate slides are washed out, but you can follow along with the slides by downloading Patterns of Conflict here... http://www.dnipogo.org/boyd/patterns_...
