Anna Chennault, born Chan Sheng Mai, later spelled Chen Xiangmei (actual birth year 1923, but reported as June 23, 1925 – March 30, 2018), also known as Anna Chan Chennault or Anna Chen Chennault, was a war correspondent and prominent Republican member of the U.S. China Lobby. She was married to American World War II aviator General Claire Chennault. Controversy surrounds Anna Chennault for the crucial role she may have played on behalf of Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign in seeking to delay the Vietnam War peace negotiations, in order to boost Nixon's chances for victory. Chen Xiangmei and Chennault, who was 30 years her senior, married in December 1947. In 1946, Chennault had divorced his first wife. After the war her husband was somewhat of a celebrity. Anna Chennault worked as a publicist for Civil Air Transport in Taipei, Taiwan (1946–1957), as vice president of international affairs for the Flying Tiger Line and as president of TAC International (from 1976). In 1960, Chennault gained her first political experience when she campaigned for Richard Nixon, being used as the Republicans' principal campaigner among Chinese-Americans. In the 1968 election, Chennault served as the chairwoman of the Republican Women for Nixon Committee. More

New York: Crescent Books, 1975. First Printing [Stated] of this edition. Hardcover. 64 pages. Illustrations (most in color). Diagrams. Technical Specifications. Production Manufacture Breakdown. Minor wear and soiling to cover and some page discolortion. This is the first detailed and first-hand account of the most ambitious civil aircraft project ever undertaken -- the design, development and manufacture jointly by Britain and France of the Concorde supersonic airliners. F> G. Clark, who wrote the text, and Arthur Gibson, who took the great majority of the photographs which illustrate it, form a team uniquely qualified to present the story of the Concorde. Both have been involved with the project since its inception, Mr. Clarke as a member of the staff of British Aircraft Corporation and, before that, Bristol aircraft Ltd., and Mr. Gibson as a consultant designer to BAS and Britain's leading aviation photographer. Both have travelled widely in connection with Concorde's overseas demonstration tours to many different parts of the world. Their book will surely rank as the authoritative 'biography" of one of the most beautiful and exciting aircraft the world has seen. More
