The Mind of War: John Boyd and American Security
from Smithsonian
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:

If you want to change the world for the better or just keep your little corner of it from getting worse, then you'll want to read this book. It's what Boyd discovered about how conflicts are fought and won. Sadly, although he flew in two wars, most of Boyd's clashes were fought within the US... more info

Fly Now!: The Poster Collection of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
from National Geographic
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:

A poor design, bad editing, and incredibly lackluster. A purchase I regret making.
The writer seems content in believing that her words are more important than the very subject she's supposed to be covering - Airline Posters. What's with the 3rd grade point size? Are we all that far-sighted... more info

Not enough different from the original to be worth purchasing. If you don't have the original and are interested in the Flying Tigers book is worthwhile.

Slacks and Calluses: Our Summer in a Bomber Factory
from Smithsonian
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:

I love to read about women war workers of WW2. I have many books about the subject and this is hands down my favorite. Perfectly written. Very descriptive. Detailed. My only complaint....it's not 500 more pages! It left me wanting more...much more. If the author ever reads these comments, I want to... more info

At the Edge of Space: The X-15 Flight Program
from Smithsonian
Price: $18.21

Customer Review:

I got this the minute I saw it. This can compare, in a good way to "always another dawn" Scott Crossfield's book but, Milt is much more funny!!!
Lots of things about the program I never knew are in this book, not a dry rendering either.
If you are into the early days of spaceflight, here... more info

Into the Teeth of the Tiger
from Smithsonian
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:

Since this is written much as a diary of a young WW2 fighter pilot there are some sections that, like life, are a little tedious. That fact aside I found Mr. Lopez's work an interesting and inciteful view of the famous Flying Tiger unit after it was absorbed into the Army Air Force after the US... more info

Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships : Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg
from Smithsonian
Price: $23.07

Customer Review:

Harold Dick wrote an enticing account of his time with the great airships. He had complete access to the entire program. They even let him assume flight control resposibilities. The right man was in the right place at the right time.

Amelia Earhart
from Smithsonian
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

We live a World where every new technology is ogled at, studied, and reviewed months before it is on the market. We spend our time trying to find faster and easier ways to do things in the future. In a world like this, the past is given very little thought. I very much doubt your Wall Street sharpie... more info
