Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. vii, [1], 210 p. 24 cm. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. From Wikipedia: "The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) was the statutory administrative military forerunner of the current United States Air Force. Renamed from the earlier United States Army Air Service on 2nd July 1926, it was part of the larger United States Army and the immediate predecessor of the United States Army Air Forces (U.S.A.A.F. ), reorganized and established on June 20, 1941, during the subsequent period of World War II. Although abolished as an administrative echelon in 1942, the Air Corps (AC) remained as one of the combat arms of the Army until 1947 with the Executive orders and Congressional act establishing the "national military establishment" with the United States Department of Defense replacing the old previous War (with a Department of the Army) and Navy Departments and additional creation of an Air Force Department. The Air Corps was renamed by the United States Congress largely as a compromise between the advocates of a separate air arm and those of the traditionalist in the Army high command who viewed the aviation arm as an auxiliary branch to support the ground forces. Although its members worked to promote the concept of air power and an autonomous air force between 1926 and 1941, its primary purpose by Army policy remained support of ground forces rather than independent operations. This was the cause advanced by the famous Brig. Gen. William ("Billy") Mitchell leading to his unfortunate 1925 court-martial and featured in a famous Hollywood feature movie in 1955, "The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell" portrayed by Gary Cooper. On 1 March 1935, still struggling with the issue of a separate air arm, the Army activated the General Headquarters Air Force for centralized control of aviation combat units within the continental United States, separate from but coordinate with the Air Corps. The separation of the Air Corps from control of its combat units caused problems of unity of command that became more acute as the Air Corps enlarged in preparation for World War II. This was resolved by the creation of the Army Air Forces on 20 June 1941, when both organizations became subordinate to the new higher echelon. The Air Corps ceased to have an administrative structure after 9 March 1942, but as "the permanent statutory organization of the air arm, and the principal component of the Army Air Forces, " the overwhelming majority of personnel assigned to the AAF were members of the Air Corps." Very good. Cover has slight wear and soilng. Garst, Steven C. (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine - very sharp, for a 50s genre pulp. Astounding Science Fiction - July 1956, which includes the First Appearance of the semi-controversial 'Tomb Tapper", by James Blish. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 162 pp.; cover art by Van Dongen, interior black and white art by him as well as Kelly Freas and Emsh. Near Fine, truly, for a fifties pulp; complete spine with just a tiny touch at top (see spine scan; what appears on that scan to be scuffing is not that - its wrap-around from the cover art); interior pages do have the inevitable age-toning in publications of this type and era - but much more moderately so than in almost any others you'll likely see. Included(see contents scan) are pieces by, in addition to Blish, Murry Leinster, Randall Garrett, F.L. Wallace, Allen Lang, and Robert S. Richardson. Upon request, I can e-mail you a link to an article on the UFOlogy semi-controversy - such as it was - about Bliss' story is well-summarized. a piece entitled 'Roswell that Ends Well' by Dwayne A. Day (Tuesday, May 31, 2011), in which he debunks a piece by edgy journalist Annie Jacobsen "in which she claimed that children, perhaps as young as 13 years old and genetically or surgically altered by Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele, flew a Nazi "flying disk" into the United States as part of a plan by Joseph Stalin to cause mass panic of an alien invasion. The plane crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. The United States then engaged in unethical Mengele-like research at Area 51." One of the rumors that swirled for a while around this direction of speculation was the later-assumed-by-some possible basis in reality of James Blish's story 'Tomb Tapper (July 1956 issue of Astounding Science Fiction) was itself based on the (actual, in the story) U.S. search for a crashed advance tech craft by the Russians, in which the pilot was found to be not Russian, but… Not a viable speculation for most folks, but an interesting part of UFOlogy lore. Collectible, especially in this remarkable condition for the genre. Please review scans. Ships in stout protection, of course. L103.…
