Commissioned on the occasion of its 75th Anniversary, here is the
fascinating historical account of the American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics - and its predecessor organizations,
the American Rocket Society and The Institute of the Aeronautical
Sciences - and the significant contributions each has made to the
evolution of flight. From the early struggles to create and
distinguish aeronautics as a distinct profession, through the
technological necessities brought on by two world wars, to the
incredible advances spawned by the Space Age, this narrative covers
it all in a highly readable, thoroughly researched way. Reading
like an aeronautical and astronautical ""who's who,"" this is also
the amazing story of the organizations' founders, leaders and
members - visionary individuals and dedicated engineers advancing
theories and technologies in a profession that has forever changed
society and shaped everyday life as we know it.
