One of Mr. Salo’s primary research interests in military history. He was literally born into Cold War history. As the son of a career Army officer, Ed was born at Fort Benning, GA during the end of the Vietnam War-era and lived several years during the 1970s in then West Germany before his father retired.

During his career, Edward Salo has completed numerous historical and architectural surveys at military installations across the United States. These include the evaluation of Cold War-era resources at Air Force bases; preparation of management documents for Air Force and Army installations; studies of World War II-era Prisoner of War camps; amending the national historic landmark for the US Military Academy, and documentation of historic buildings structures. The following pages contain a brief summary of his specific experience.
