Hardback. Condizione: New. Although the United States won the race to the moon, the Soviets were far more active in space than Americans during the decade that followed. By the 1980s, some space experts feared the United States was in danger of being surpassed in space, including dual-use systems that might be employed offensively in a military confrontation. A few experts, looking ahead, recommended a space force within roughly two decades.Standing up Space Force is organized chronologically by presidential administration, beginning in the middle of the Clinton years and progressing through the Trump administration. During the Clinton and George W. Bush years, the move to national security space was incremental. The Obama presidency witnessed the rise of NewSpace entrepreneurs whose impressive space activities facilitated their initial partnering with  U.S. government National Security Space (NSS) missions helping the United States keep pace with China and Russia. During the Trump administration, all necessary elements finally came together - most significantly, presidential-congressional leadership and bipartisan support - to eventually produce the fiscal 2020 national defense authorization act (NDAA). Because the NDAA authorized and provided for the Space Force, when the President signed the defense bill on 20 December 2019, at the same moment he officially established the nation's sixth armed service.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. When the Korean War began in June 1950, the United States Air Force's Air Rescue Service was a fledgling organization possessing a variety of aircraft types, most having seen service during World War II. The concept of using helicopters and amphibious fixed-wing aircraft to rescue airmen downed behind enemy lines or in hostile waters had gained little consideration by the Air Force and was largely unproven. But by the fall of 1950 the 3d Air Rescue Squadron had begun to write a new chapter in the history of air power, and by July 1953, when the armistice was signed in Korea, air rescue had become established as an integral part of U.S. fighting forces. Although the H-5 and H-19 helicopters and SA-16 amphibians gained attention worldwide by virtue of countless daring rescues per- formed throughout the war, lesser known aircraft such as the L-5, SC-47, SB-17, and SB-29 also played important roles in building the U.S. Air Force's overall air rescue capability in the Korean War theater.

[Sci-fi] Ackerman, Forrest J. group of related materials from the dawn organized science fiction fan culture and mid-century editorial networks, 1944 to 1957. These items trace Ackerman's role as editor, correspondent, and cultural broker of science fiction communities in Los Angeles and nationally. The inclusion of personal correspondence with sci-fi and lesbian pulp writer Marion Zimmer Bradley referencing the Daughters of Bilitis and discussions of lesbian literature, addressing overlapping histories of LGBTQ and speculative fiction, demonstrating how fan networks served as conduits for marginalized literary exchange during the postwar period. Archive of five items including fanzines, typescript manuscripts, and a typed letter. Materials include an issue of Voice of the Imagi-Nation (aka VOM), February 1945, containing Ackerman editorial content and fan discourse; Science, Fantasy, and Science Fiction, Vol. 2, No. 1, April 1949, the official organ of the Fantasy Artisans Club with illustrated cover and internal essays on early science fiction publishing history; a typed letter to Ackerman ("Forry") by Marion Zimmer Bradley, signed "Marion," dated April 21, 1957, discussing Del Martin, the Daughters of Bilitis, and literary works including Sex Variant Women in Literature and Odd Girl Out; corrected typescript pages from "Hypnotic Eye," showing editorial revisions in red ink with references to narrative content and character development, and Voice of the Imagi-Nation (#48, November 1945) printed on colored stock, further documenting amateur press circulation and editorial practice. Also enclosed is a contemporaneous list of mid-century sci-fi books for sale by mail order. These materials document the infrastructure of science fiction fandom prior to its institutional recognition, when fanzines and personal correspondence functioned as primary vehicles for literary exchange, criticism, and community formation. Ackerman's central role in these networks later culminated in his influence as editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, but these earlier materials show the informal, decentralized origins of that authority. The 1957 letter's reference to the Daughters of Bilitis, founded in 1955 as one of the first lesbian organizations in the United States, provides direct evidence of crossover between science fiction fandom and early LGBTQ intellectual communities. Together, the archive offers a layered view of postwar American subcultures in print, linking speculative fiction, amateur publishing, and emerging queer discourse. Varying toning, edge wear, creasing, and occasional annotations or editorial markings; some leaves with small tears and corner losses; overall good condition. A cohesive and research-significant grouping illustrating the convergence of science fiction fandom and mid-century identity-based literary networks. Signed.
