How to cite this source:

    If you are a student, journalist, scholar, webmaster, author, or publisher in any format you need to properly cite your sources under international copyright law. The following should be of help to you in doing so. Please note that these examples are based on the Chicago Manual of Style and your teacher, editor, or publisher might wish you to use a different style. The examples I have provided can be easily modified.

Images: All images on this site, unless otherwise noted, are in the public domain and may be reprinted in any format at no charge. However, you are still required to acknowledge the source from which you obtained them. Generally speaking, the order of listing for a footnote is creator, name of image, name of article or story, name of web site (city: publisher, web site date), URL. For a bibliography or list of sources cited, however, alphabetize everything by last name of author and separate the components with periods. Thus: author. name of article. name of story. name of web site. city: publisher, web site date. URL.

    for a footnote:
    USAF, "Harry Armstrong at Selfridge Field," reprinted in "Paratroops and Aviation Medicine," History of Aerospace Medicine
             (Gilbert, AZ: Maura Mackowski, 6 June 2004), http://www.aeromedhistory.org.
