Product Description
In 1961, Dick Cabela, with his wife, Mary, and his brother, Jim, turned his kitchen table into the foundation of what would become one of the world's top outfitting companies. The origins of this successful business are traced from Dick's bout with polio to his deep love of fishing and hunting that would inspire him. From one small ad in the back of the Casper Tribune (Wyoming) to an annual mailing of 60 million catalogs, Cabela's has served the needs of two generations of outdoor enthusiasts while remaining, at heart, a family business. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but incredibly repetitive
I was looking forward to reading this book since I am a loyal customer of Cabela's.While David Cabela had the best of intentions in documenting the rise of his parents' company, he should have left the writing to the experts.That is not to say this book does not have some useful and interesting content.However, I believe the book could have been cut by 2/3 easily and been more interesting and effective. ...

Product Description
Most lifting bodies, or “flying bathtubs” as they were called, were so ugly only an engineer could love them, and yet, what an elegant way to keep wings from burning off in supersonic flight between earth and orbit. Working in their spare time (because they couldn’t initially get official permission), Dale Reed and his team of engineers demonstrated the potential of the design that led to the Space Shuttle.

Wingless Flight takes us behind the scenes with just the right blend of technical detail and fascinating detail (the crash of M2-F2 found new life as the opening credit for TV’s “The Six Million Dollar Man”). The flying bathtub, itself, is finding new life as the proposed escape-pod for the Space Station. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Accurate History
I worked on the X-24 lifting body spacecraft in the late 60s and am referenced in this book.Take my word for it, this a very accurate account of the early days of lifting bodies by both NASA and the USAF.I worked at the Los Angeles Air Force Station in the Space Systems Division at the time.We flight tested a 7 foot version of the X-24 (the SV-5).It was launched from Vandenburg down the Western Test Range with terminal guidance in the Kwajelein Atoll of the Marshall Islands.We then flight tested the X-24 by dropping it from a B-52 ala the X-15.Jerri Gentry was our test pilot and aced each flight test.What a trip!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars an amazing story of invention and determination
Dale Reed grows up in a log cabin and sees his first plane land on a lake as a teen. He falls in love, gets his pilot's license at age 16, finds his way to college and then to NASA and for over 50 years designs strange and wonderful things that change the science of flight... and on a showstring budget. Read this to learn about how we all stand on the shoulders of giants. And that planes without wings do fly!

5-0 out of 5 stars Filled with great pictures too!
There's a great photo of the author holding the first flying model of the M2F1 he built and tested, standing next to the M2F1! That's just one of many. The paperback edition has an update from 2005; what a treat that a program from the 1960s has such an up to date publication. If you're a junky for experimental aircraft you have to have this one.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Volume on the Subject!
I've studied these vehicles for years and thought I knew a lot about them.But Dale Reed was there and does a masterful job of melding the history time line with the results of the program.There are probably only ahandful of people who could have written this book which is as rich indetail and "colorful" stories as any reader could want.Ifyou've read the story of the X-15, this is the next logical step.If youhaven't, you need to to really grasp what was going on at Edwards duringthis time.Fascinating!

5-0 out of 5 stars The definitive history of NASA lifting bodies to date.
A well written book from the engineer that was at the center of this small group of specialized aerospace vehicles.While detailed and somewhat technical, the author still manages to convey the sense of personalexcitement, accomplishment and, at times, frustration experienced byeveryone supporting these vehicles.A must-read for anyone interested inthese vehicles. ...

Product Description
Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager (born February 13, 1923) is a retired General in the United States Air Force and noted test pilot. He is widely considered to be the first pilot to travel faster than sound (1947). Originally retiring as a brigadier general, Yeager was promoted to major general on the Air Force's retired list 20 years later for his military achievements. His career began in World War II as a private in the U.S. Army Air Forces. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September, 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of Flight Officer (WW 2 U.S. Army Air Forces rank equivalent to Warrant Officer) and became a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot. After the war he became a test pilot of many kinds of aircraft and rocket planes. Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 13,700 m (45,000 ft). Although Scott Crossfield was the first man to fly faster than Mach 2 in 1953, Yeager shortly thereafter exceeded Mach 2.4. ... Read more

Extrait : Neil Alden Armstrong, né le 5 août 1930 à Wapakoneta dans l'Ohio, est un astronaute, pilote d'essai, aviateur de l'United States Navy et professeur américain. Il est le premier homme à avoir posé le pied sur la Lune le 21 juillet 1969. Son premier vol spatial à bord de Gemini 8 eut lieu en 1966, vol pour lequel il portait le rôle de pilote-commandant. Pendant cette mission, il effectua le premier amarrage manuel de deux engins spatiaux avec le pilote « Dave » Scott. Le second vol spatial d'Armstrong fut en tant que commandant de la célèbre mission Apollo 11 le 20 juillet 1969. Lors de cette mission, lui et Buzz Aldrin sont descendus à la surface de la Lune dans le module lunaire Apollo et ont consacré deux heures vingt à explorer pendant que Michael Collins est resté en orbite dans le module de commande et de service Apollo. Armstrong reçut la Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Avant de devenir astronaute, ce diplômé de l'Université Purdue travaillait dans la marine des États-Unis et a participé à la guerre de Corée. Après la guerre, il a servi comme pilote d'essai à la High-Speed Flight Station du National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), site désormais connu comme le Dryden Flight Research Center, où il a effectué plus de 900 vols sur plus de 200 appar...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
This unique electronic book on CD-ROM has the finest collection of documents, photographs, and resources available anywhere about the X-1 supersonic test airplane, the NASA lifting body test program, and two aviation and space pioneers, Scott Crossfield and Chuck Yeager. In addition, there is extensive coverage of the historic X-15 USAF/NASA rocket airplane program.

X-1 AIRPLANE: Beginning in 1946, two XS-1 experimental research aircraft (later redesignated X-1s) conducted pioneering tests at Muroc Army Air Field (now Edwards Air Force Base) in California to obtain flight data on conditions in the transonic speed range. These early tests culminated on October 14, 1947, in the first piloted flight faster than Mach 1.0, the speed of sound. The XS-1 was the first high-speed aircraft built purely for aviation research purposes. The model was never intended for production. The XS-1 was designed largely in accordance with specifications provided by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) [now National Aeronautics and Space Administration], paid for by the Army Air Forces, and built by Bell Aircraft Inc. The XS-1 #2 (serial number 46-063) was flight tested by the NACA to provide design data for later production high-performance aircraft. The research techniques used in the X-1 program became the pattern for all subsequent X-craft projects. The NACA X-1 procedures and personnel also helped lay the foundation of America's space program in the 1960s. The X-1 project defined and solidified the post-war cooperative union between U.S. military needs, industrial capabilities, and research facilities. The flight data collected by the NACA in the X-1 tests then provided a basis for American aviation supremacy in the latter half of the 20th century.

LIFTING BODY PROGRAM: Between 1963 and 1975, eight lifting-body configurations were flown at the NASA Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB. They varied tremendously from the unpowered, bulbous, lightweight plywood M2-F1 to the rocket-powered, extra-sleek, all-metal supersonic X-24B. Some configurations, such as the M2-F2, not only pushed the limits of both design engineers and test pilots but also were dangerous to fly. Film footage of the 1967 crash of the M2-F2, after test pilot Bruce Peterson lost control of this particularly "angry machine," was used about two years later as the lead-in to weekly episodes of a popular television series, The Six-Million-Dollar Man, which ran for about six years. Although the M2-F2 crash was spectacular enough to inspire the concept for a popular television series, it was the only serious accident that occurred over the slightly more than twelve years of lifting-body flight-testing. But danger has always lurked at the edge of flight innovation. All eight of these wingless wonders, the lifting bodies, were considered the flying prototypes for future spacecraft that could land like an airplane after the searing heat of reentry from outer space. The precursors of today's Shuttle, the lifting bodies provided the technical and operational engineering data that has shaped the space transportation systems of today and tomorrow

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager (born February 13, 1923) is a retired major general in the United States Air Force and noted test pilot. He is widely considered to be the first pilot to travel faster than sound (1947). Originally retiring as a brigadier general, Yeager was promoted to major general on the Air Force's retired list 20 years later for his military achievements. His career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army Air Forces. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II USAAF equivalent to warrant officer) and became a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot. After the war he became a test pilot of many kinds of aircraft and rocket planes. Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 13,700 m (45,000 ft). Although Scott Crossfield was the first man to fly faster than Mach 2 in 1953, Yeager shortly thereafter set a new record of Mach 2.44. He later commanded fighter squadrons and wings in Germany and in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and in recognition of the outstanding performance ratings of those units he then was promoted to brigadier general. Yeager's flying career spans more than sixty years and has taken him to every corner of the globe, including the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. Yeager was born to farming-parents Susie Mae and Albert Hal Yeager in Myra, West Virginia, and graduated from high school in Hamlin, West Virginia. Yeager had two brothers, Roy and Hal, Jr., and two sisters, Doris Ann (accidentally kille...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6185 ... Read more

Earhart was the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of the world-famous Purdue University aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. During a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=85234 ... Read more
