Washington, DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1950. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 11.75 inches. , xvii, [1], 467, [5] pages. Fold-out maps (some color). Maps. Footnotes. Charts. Tables. Illustrations. XLV Appendices. Guide to Footnotes. Chronology. Glossary. Index.

Stamps and ink name inside front board, board corners worn, ink number on spine, rear board scuffed and scratched. This is one volume of an eight volume report. Engineer Intelligence is a historical coverage of intelligence activities of the Engineers in the Theater during World War II. It has been divided chronologically rather than by campaigns, because the intelligence work did not begin and end in definite phases concurrently with the actual combat which it was supporting. While one campaign was being fought in a particular place, map production and compilation of Engineer intelligence reports were be prepared for another combat action which might not be scheduled for months to combat, and would would be located hundreds of miles from the preset scene of action. The Engineer intelligence mission in the Theater was accomplished, in general, through the execution of two functions: mapping, and research and reports. This volume treats these two functions separately within the time period devoted to each chapter. More

Washington DC: Department of the Army, Headquarters and US Marine Corps, 1994. Presumed First Edition, First Printing thus. Wraps. Three hole-punched and staplebound. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Distribution was authorized to US government agencies only to protect technical or operational information, as well as unclassified, controlled, nuclear information (UCNI) material from automatic dissemination under the International Exchange Program or by other means. This determination was made 29 November 1991. It is understood that due to the passage of time and increase in publicly available information this restriction no longer applies. This publication supercedes the nuclear/radiological portions of FM 3-3, dated 30 September 1986. Various paginations (approximately 300+ pages). Figures. Tables/Tabular Data, Appendices. References. Glossary. Reproducible Forms. This we understand was the Army’s last and most comprehensive word, on how troops would confront the effects of nuclear weapons on the battlefield. IT was also jointly issued with the Marine Corps since their troops could also be expected to be on the ground in a 'post-detonation' operational environment. Much of the emphasis is on establishing and communicating the spatial extent of fallout from adversarial nuclear weapons explosions, and understanding its impact on battlefield operations. This really is the definitive work on the subject at the end of the Twentieth Century. Included also is AREA PREDICTOR, RADIOLOGICAL FALLOUT, ABC-M5A2, a 24”X39” flexible translucent overlay sheet with stenciled templates for first-order fallout area delineation on US Army maps; its use is fully described in the FM 3-3-1 manual.

McLean, VA: JASON, The MITRE Corporation, 2003. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. This is a JASON study. Quarto. Various paginations (approximately 120 pages). Part I ONLY stated as ITAR Restricted. [ Part II was issued separately as an ITAR Secret document]. Wraps. Figures. Charts Tables. Appendices. This was an export controlled document when issued and this is understood to no longer apply given the available information on hypersonic aircraft research and development. Among the contributors were Freeman Dyson and Richard Garwin. This study focused on S&T issues with air-breathing propulsion identified as a primary focus. Representatives from Government, Industry, and Academia briefed the JASON team on the Hypersonic parts of the National Aerospace Initiative, hypersonic Science and Technology issues, and hypersonic programs. Hypersonic flight is flight through the atmosphere below about 90 km at speeds above Mach 5, a speed where dissociation of air begins to become significant and high heat loads exist. The first manufactured object to achieve hypersonic flight was the two-stage Bumper rocket. In February 1949, at White Sands, the rocket reached a speed of 5,150 mph, or approximately Mach 6.7. In April 1961, Russian Major Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel at hypersonic speed, during the world's first piloted orbital flight. Soon after, in May 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American and second person to achieve hypersonic flight when his capsule reentered the atmosphere at a speed above Mach 5 at the end of his suborbital flight over the Atlantic Ocean.

Even before the founding of the USAF, Air University initiated publication of the Air University Quarterly Review in 1947. Maj. Gen. Muir S. Fairchild established this journal as a professional publication in the highest sense of the word—one that would reflect the best professional thought concerning global concepts and doctrines of air strategy and tactics. Since its inauguration, the journal has appeared under the titles Air University Quarterly Review, Air University Review, Airpower Journal, Aerospace Power Journal, and, currently, Air and Space Power Journal. Since 1947, this periodical has fulfilled its mandate to provide an avenue for professional Airmen to present their original thinking on the subject of airpower.
