Item description from seller

1755 total, 3 vols., illus., tables, charts, notes, appendices, notes on sources, index, lib stamps ins rear flyleaves (only lib marks) Boards somewhat scuffed, v.1 board corners bumped, v.1 fore-edge stained & evidence of dampness (waviness, but no pages stuck) in top margin, v.2 & v.3 some soiling to fore-edge. Volume I covers NASA resources 1958-1968. Volume II covers programs and projects 1958-1968. Volume III covers programs and projects 1969-1978. In 1973, NASA published the first volume of the NASA Historical Data Book, a hefty tome containing mostly tabular data on the resources of the space agency between 1958 and 1968. There, broken into detailed tables, were the facts and figures associated with the budget, facilities, procurement, installations, and personnel of NASA during that formative decade. In 1988, NASA reissued that first volume of the data book and added two additional volumes on the agency's programs and projects, one each for 1958-1968 and 1969-1978. NASA began its operations as the nation's civilian space agency in 1958 following the passage of the National Aeronautics and Space Act. It succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new organization was charged with preserving the role of the United States "as a leader in aeronautical and space science and technology" and in its application, with expanding our knowledge of the Earth's atmosphere and space, and with exploring flight both within and outside the atmosphere. v.1 fair to good, ex-lib.; v.2 & v.3 good, ex-lib.
