X-15: The NASA Mission Reports: Apogee Books Space Series 13 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the book "X-15" (The NASA Mission Reports) Editor Robert Godwin collected all important documents from NASA about the "X-15": These are: Biographies, Development of the X-15 Research Aircraft 1954-1959, Bi-Annual Reports to Congress, Nort American proposal, Interim Flight Manual, Utility Flight Manual, X-15 Pilot Rescue Manual, X-15 Flight Log, X-15 The Movie Correspondence, X-15 Accident Report, X-15 Press Release and X-15 Contractor Advertisments The book also contains 8 all-color-pages and hundreds of technical drawings, diagramms and tables. But the best (as always) is the included CD-Rom that features some NASA-Footage, Documets, an interview with Bill Dana, Fligt Logs, Transcipts, books (!) and a VR-Quicktime-model of the X-15. It is important to notice that this is not an dramatic pocket book with test-pilot-heroes (like Neil Armstrong (!) ) but a collection of technical NASA-documents. But why a book about a X-plane in a series of books about spaceflight? The X-15 was the plane that flew to the edge of space and broke some altitude and speed records and gave important impulses for the development of the Space Shuttle. This book shouldn`t be missing in any aerospace-library and is essential for any technical interested people.
