General Maxwell Davenport "Max" Taylor (August 26, 1901 – April 19, 1987) was a senior United States Army officer and diplomat of the mid-20th century. He served with distinction in World War II, most notably as commander of the 101st Airborne Division, nicknamed "The Screaming Eagles". After the war he served as the fifth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, having been appointed by President John Kennedy. After the April 1961 failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Kennedy, who felt the Joint Chiefs of Staff had failed to provide him with satisfactory military advice, appointed Taylor to head a task force to investigate the failure of the invasion. The Cuba Study Group met for six weeks from April to May 1961 to perform an "autopsy" on the disastrous events surrounding the Bay of Pigs Invasion. He was Special Consultant to the President and Chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (1965–1969). More
Falls Church, VA: The George and Carol Olmsted Foundation, 2009. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xviii, 171, [1] pages. Illustrations. Scholars brochure laid in. Major General George Hamden Olmsted (March 18, 1901 – October 8, 1998) was an American military officer and insurance executive. During his four-year attendance at West Point, he was President of his class for three years. He graduated on June 22, 1922, holding the position of First Captain of the Corps of Cadets, ranking second in his class academically. He also served as Chairman of the Student Honor Committee and Assistant Business Manager of the Howitzer, the annual yearbook. In athletics, General Olmsted was the featherweight boxing champion of the academy and second-string quarterback of the 1922 Army football team. Recalled to active service in the Army in January 1942, then Major Olmsted led the Requirements and Assignments Branch, International Division, Army Service Forces which handled Lend Lease requests from allied governments for Army material and equipment. In this position he had to balance the complex, simultaneous equations of American industrial production schedules and capacity, American military requirements, urgent requests for help from allied governments and the demands of the current strategic situation. Shortly thereafter he was sent to China to serve on the staff of General Albert Wedemeyer and to establish a new general staff section known as G-5 for the China-Burma-India Theater. Olmsted was promoted to brigadier general and took charge of the G-5 section which was responsible for civil affairs, lend lease operations, training of allied military forces, and clandestine operations.

St. Louis, MO: The McDonnell Aircraft Corporation. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Single sheet, printed on one side. Approximately 17.50 inches by 13.25 inches. Sheet has drawings, photographs and text on one side only. Center box has F2H-2P Banshee Data. Scale Model of the Twin-Jet Carrier Based Fighter. Sheet has been folded into quarters. The McDonnell F2H Banshee was an aircraft deployed by the United States Navy and Marine Corps from 1948 to 1961. It was one of the primary fighters used during the Korean War and was the only jet-powered fighter ever deployed by the Royal Canadian Navy, serving the RCN from 1955 until 1962. The aircraft's name is derived from the banshee of Irish mythology. The Banshee was a development of the FH Phantom, although it was being planned before the Phantom went into production. McDonnell engineers originally intended the aircraft to be a modified Phantom that shared many parts with the earlier aircraft, but it soon became clear that the need for heavier armament, greater internal fuel capacity, and other improvements would make the idea unfeasible.
