199876687Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1998. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. iii 1 184 4 pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Panel of witnesses included: Daniel Goldin Howard McCurdy Eilene Galloway Rick Tumlinson and Charles Conrad. Chairman Rohrbacher opened the hearing by remarking in part: Today is October 1 1998 but we can also feel the spirit of October 1 1958 and perhaps even that of October 1 2038. I say this because today we are celebrating the past; we are assessing the present; and we are anticipating the future of America in space. Today we will see through the eyes and the words of five leading authorities on where America can should and perhaps must go in space. And thanks to this brand new videoconferencing technology that's being demonstrated here today we are actually looking the future in the face and that will be part of our hearing. As we go on we'll have Pete Conrad testifying from California through this technology. Today we are beginning a national dialogue about the future of America's space program and we need to bring the American people into this discussion not just because we're spending their money but because we're talking about their future and their children's future. . In the future I envision space will be a frontier that is open to all—stockholders as well as scientists educators as well as engineers tourists as well as technicians. . Space must not simply be a government program of a wealthy Nation but instead it should be the engine of new knowledge prosperity and peace that will strengthen our democracy expand our economy and spread our democratic values opening horizons of human opportunity beyond the confines of planet Earth. There are so many new ideas and miraculous possibilities and it's exciting to be part of this great endeavor and it's exciting for me to be the Chairman of this Subcommittee at this pivotal moment.

194486762Washington DC: United States Navy Bureau of Aeronautics Special Devices Division 1944. Presumed First Edition First printing. Collectible Cards boxed in Card deck package. Good. Set of 75 cards with black and white photographs on one side and silhouette images of US Army Aircraft on the other side. Each card marked RESTRICTED and dated August 1944. Believed to be a complete set of cards Box has some wear and soiling. The Bureau of Aeronautics BuAer was the U.S. Navy's material-support organization for naval aviation from 1921 to 1959. The bureau had "cognizance" i.e. responsibility for the design procurement and support of naval aircraft and related systems. Aerial weapons however were under the cognizance of the Navy's Bureau of Ordnance BuOrd. World War II brought immense changes as well. BuAer was forced to expand rapidly in order to comply with the nation's defense needs. By the war's end the bureau had developed an administrative structure that oversaw thousands of personnel and the procurement and maintenance of tens of thousands of aircraft. In 1943 the Navy established the position of Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Air or DCNOAir a move which relieved some of BuAer's responsibility for Fleet operations. RADM McCain now promoted to vice admiral was the first to fill the position. It is likely that this set was produced to be used in the European Theater perhaps in connection with the ground invasion of the German homeland.

191877151Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1918. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Good. Format is approximately 7.25 inches by 10.5 inches. 38 pages plus plates. Color Frontis. Illustrations. figures tables index Cover has wear and soiling. Minor tear and pencil erasure to fep. Rear board has some weakness and has been restrengthened with glue. The table of Contents states Part I. Chapter I.--Aviation and its medical problems; II--The selection of the flier; III--The classification of the flier; and IV--The maintenance of the efficiency of the flier. In each of the countries at war there was a fully established Air Medical Service. In the U.S. Army this work was effectively handled by a division of the Surgeon General's Office assigned as a part of the Division of Military Aeronautics. Aviation was new and the Air Medical Service was even newer; so that for educational purposes the director of Military Aeronautics deemed it advisable to issue this manual. The object was to set forth Aviation's debt to Medicine and to make clear the part played by the Air Medical Service in the 'winning of the war in the air." Part I issued as a separate volume from Part II was a short statement of the essential facts which were of immediate general interest. Part II went into greater detail and was intended for those who belonged to the Air Medical Service itself or for those who desired to make a more thorough study of this new work.
