Hardcover, [xix], 307 pages. Near Fine condition in a Good dust jacket. Size 9.75"x7". "This engaging story of how the Air Force moved from 13 separate labs to one consolidated lab reflects that service's determination to reinvigorate its science and technology infrastructure and thereby strengthen the nation's defense for the twenty-first century. Part one considers why the Air Force decided to consolidate its far-flung science and technology enterprise into one lab, while part two relates how the service implemented the new lab. Dr. Duffner offers a unique perspective on a watershed event in the life of the United States Air Force." Book has very light handling/shelfwear, and is clean and unmarked.
