Antonio de Ulloa 12 January 1716 â€“ 3 July 1795 was a Spanish general explorer author astronomer colonial administrator and the first Spanish governor of Louisiana. He was born in Seville the son of an economist. Ulloa entered the navy in 1733. In 1735 he was appointed with fellow Spaniard Jorge Juan a member of the French Geodesic Mission a scientific expedition which the French Academy of Sciences was sending to Ecuador to measure a degree of meridian arc at the equator led by Pierre Bouguer. He remained there from 1736 to 1744 during which time the two Spaniards discovered the element platinum. In 1745 having finished their scientific labors Ulloa and Jorge Juan prepared to return to Spain agreeing to travel on different ships in order to minimize the danger of losing the important fruits of their labors. The ship upon which Ulloa was traveling was captured by the British and he was taken as a prisoner to England. In that country through his scientific attainments he gained the friendship of the men of science and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. In a short time through the influence of the president of this society he was released and was able to return to Spain. He published an account of the people and the countries they have met 1748 which was translated into English as A Voyage to South America. He became prominent as a scientist and was appointed to serve on various important scientific commissions. He is to be credited with the establishment of the first museum of natural history the first metallurgical laboratory in Spain and the observatory of Cadiz. In 1758 he returned to South America as governor of Huancavelica in Peru and the general manager of the quicksilver mines there. He held this position until 1764. He arrived on 5 March 1766 in New Orleans to serve as the first Spanish governor of West Louisiana. The French colonists refused to recognize Spanish rule and de Ulloa was expelled from Louisiana by a Creole uprising during the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768. For the remainder of his life he served as a naval officer. In 1779 he became lieutenant-general of the naval forces. As a result of his scientific work in Peru he published Madrid 1784 RelaciÃ³n histÃ³rica del viaje Ã¡ la AmÃ©rica Meridional which contains a full accurate and clear description of the greater part of South America geographically and of its inhabitants and natural history. In collaboration with the Jorge Juan mentioned above he also wrote Noticias secretas de AmÃ©rica giving valuable information regarding the early religious orders in Spanish America.

F-111A FIRST FLIGHT. Photodocumentary.; FZM-12-2226. 21 Dec 1964

196448694Fort Worth: General Dynamics 1964. 1st Printing. Black flexible plastic spiral-bound binder gold lettering to front cover. Modest wear Very Good Plus. 3 preliminary pages of typescript text including a page written time-line of the aircraft's development printed recto only. After 16 photographs one typescript page inserted "News Conference Personnel" followed by 3 photographs of the news conference. Laid-in a xerox extract of a column by Fred H. De Jong supporting the aircraft's development & use original publication source not identified. 19 glossy b/w still photographs 8-1/2" x 11" The F-111 Aardvark was an "American supersonic medium-range interdictor and tactical attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber aerial reconnaissance and electronic-warfare aircraft in its various versions. The word 'aardvark' is Afrikaan for 'earthpig' and reflects the look of the long nose of the aircraft that might remind one of the nose of the aardvark. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics it entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft including variable-sweep wings afterburning turbofan engines and automated terrain-following radar for low-level high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace." Wiki While the US transitioned to other aircraft in the late '90s the F-111 continued in service with the RAAF until December 2010. As Mr. Cosby's introductory note states "These photographs portray the sequence of events of 21 December 1964." No doubt only a limited number of these binders were made mostly likely for visiting dignitaries which makes this a rare promotional photodocumentary of the F-111A's first flight. At the time of cataloguing we find no copies elsewhere in the market nor listed on OCLC. General Dynamics unknown books
