A propos de cet article

[Interesting provenance, previously owned by Philip H. Bolger.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Wear/tear to jacket with minor loss. One gutter cracked. Clean, unmarked pages. Blind stamp of Bolger on half title page. "Philip H. Bolger was a former deputy undersecretary of U.S. Dept. of Transportation, NASA executive and Navy fighter and test pilot. During World War II, Philip enlisted in the U.S. Navy at the age of seventeen and shortly thereafter was chosen by presidential appointment for admission to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he graduated in 1948. In the early 1950s he served as a test pilot for two years at the Patuxent Naval Air station, where he was a member of that program's second class, serving alongside the future astronaut and senator, John Glenn. He was an expert aviator who flew many types of aircraft before, during and after military aviation's development from propeller engines to supersonic jet aircraft. In his next assignment he was an aircraft carrier pilot who flew with VF 211, "The Fighting Checkmates," whose skipper was Adm. James Stockdale, for two deployments -- one on the USS Bonhomme Richard and the other on the USS Midway. During this time he saw extensive service in the Taiwan Strait conflict. After 18 years of active duty in the Navy, he joined the fledgling NASA space program and was selected as one of a hundred astronaut candidates for the first manned space flight missions. He served as deputy director of safety for the Gemini and Apollo programs under Mr. Jerry Lederer, an international pioneer in flight safety. In the wake of the Vietnam War, Philip was appointed by the president of the United States to head a special White House program to assist returning veterans with drug addictions. Later, he served as deputy undersecretary for safety at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Following his civil service career and retirement as a Navy reserve officer, he was president of the Flight Safety Foundation, as well as president of the International Aeronautical Federation. He was a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. In retirement, he served as volunteer president of the Naval Academy Flying Club." - Obit.…
