History of the U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center covering selected military, commercial and space flight systems and missiles from the 1950's up to 2005. Admittedly there are some gaps in coverage of some of the later programs because of a lack of publicly cleared information at the time of publication, however this book is an informative resource spanning half a century of research. Also, a promotional brochure of the pre-production Model 23 Learjet, a name that would be made synonymous with prestige business travel. Entering production in early 1962 the first deliveries of the small business jet began in October 1964 and production concluded in 1966 with 101 aircraft delivered.
