Book Description
The first KC-135A was rolled out on July 18, 1956 - nearly 70 years ago - and, amazingly, half of those constructed during the following ten years are still active. Described as a "force multiplier," providing aerial refueling to extend range or enable combat aircraft to remain on station for significantly longer periods, the KC-135 is unmatched. Ordered primarily as a tanker, it subsequently took on roles in strategic reconnaissance, airborne command post, treaty verification, weather monitoring, air sampling, test and evaluation support, VIP, aircrew trainer, airlift, and much more. While many KC-135 aircraft with a unique tasking have been replaced, some have an open-ended life expectancy and should exceed 80 years' service. To date, more than 80 different designations have been allocated, distinguishable through the application of prefix or suffix letters. Illustrated with over 160 images, this book, the first of two, will detail those aircraft with an aerial refueling designation, ground trainers, export and civilian tankers, and those that were used to conduct tests and evaluations.

Book Description
General Adams reflects on his experiences in the cold war, during which he served in both manned bombers and missile silos. He tells stories of famous and not-so-famous cold warriors, including some from the US Navy. Some stories are humorous; some stories are tragic. Having traveled extensively in Russia and some former Soviet Union states after retirement, General Adams tells us about his former adversaries, the Soviet cold warriors. In the process, he leaves no doubt about his respect for all who served so valiantly in the "strategic triad"-- the strategic command, the ICBM force, and the submarine Navy.

Book Description
This book puts the reader in the pilot's seat for a "day at the office" unlike any other. The Smell of Kerosene tells the dramatic story of a NASA research pilot who logged over 11,000 flight hours in more than 125 types of aircraft. Donald Mallick gives the reader fascinating first-hand description of his early naval flight training, carrier operations, and his research flying career with NASA. After transferring to the NASA Flight Research Center, Mallick became involved with projects that further pushed the boundaries of aerospace technology. These included the giant delta-winged XB-70 supersonic airplane, the wingless M2-F1 lifting body vehicle, and triple-sonic YF-12 Blackbird. Mallick also test flew the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle and helped develop techniques used in training astronauts to land on the Moon.

Book Description
Dr. Chun's Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century: A Basic Primer is a great start towards understanding the importance of aerospace power and its ability to conduct modern warfare. Aerospace power is continually changing because of new technology, threats, and air and space theories. However, many basic principles about aerospace power have stood the test of time and warfare. This book provides the reader with many of these time-tested ideas for consideration and reflection. Although Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century was written for future officers, individuals desiring a broad overview of aerospace power are invited to read, share, and discuss many of the ideas and thoughts presented here. Officers from other services will find that this introduction to air and space forces will give them a good grasp of aerospace power. More experienced aerospace leaders can use this book to revisit many of the issues that have affected air and space forces in the past and that might affect them in the future. Air Force officers will discover that Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century is a very timely and reflective resource for their professional libraries.
