Education
editHaulman earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, and his master's degree from the University of New Orleans.[1] After teaching social studies in high schools for some time, Haulman decided he wanted to teach at a more "collegiate" level. He attended Auburn University, and graduated in 1983[2] with a doctorate in history.[3][4]
While earning his Ph.D., Haulman began working for the Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in the Air Force Historical Research Agency, located in Montgomery. He started off as a co-op, and after graduating, moved up in position to the research division. A primary duty required him to keep track of the Air Force's aerial victory credits. Haulman chose to chronicle the entire history of the Tuskegee Airmen.[3]
Haulman was employed at the Air Force Historical Agency from 1982 until 2019. He continues to write and speak on historical topics, particularly related to Air Force history.
He is the author of 16 published articles, and has presented more than 20 historical papers at various historical conferences.[5] This includes the Society for Military History in Charleston, South Carolina and at the 2005 Alabama Historical Association Meeting.[2]
Haulman has written five books, all focused on the topic of aviation history.[6] He received the Milo B. Howard award from the Alabama Historical Association for his article: "The Tuskegee Airmen and the 'Never lost a Bomber' Myth", which was published in the Alabama Review.[7] He specializes in the history of the Tuskegee Airmen.[3]
Haulman has taught at Huntingdon College, Auburn University Montgomery, and Faulkner University.
