This is the story of the work of the original NASA space pioneers; men and women who were suddenly organized in 1958 from the then National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) into the Space Task Group. A relatively small group, they developed the initial mission concept plans and procedures for the U. S. space program. Then they boldly built hardware and facilities to accomplish those missions. The group existed only three years before they were transferred to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, in 1962, but their organization left a large mark on what would follow.Von Ehrenfried's personal experience with the STG at Langley uniquely positions him to describe the way the group was structured and how it reacted to the new demands of a post-Sputnik era. He artfully analyzes how the growing space program was managed and what techniques enabled it to develop so quickly from an operations perspective. The result is a fascinating window into history, amply backed up by first person documentation and interviews.

Stories of Old Toronto never lose favour with the city’s nostalgia buffs, and as long as Mike Filey continues to provide us with his "The Way We Were" columns, no one’s appetite will have to go unsatisfied. When Mike’s Toronto Sunday Sun columns were first brought together in Toronto Sketches, demand was so high that it prompted a second collection ... then a third ... and a fourth ... and a fifth. Now, for 2000, Mike has once again brought together some of the best of his Toronto Sunday Sun columns for Toronto Sketches 6, the latest installment in the wildly popular series. This time around, Mike takes us to a performance at the Royal Alexandra Theatre by Al Jolson, the opening of Sunnybrook Hospital, a game between the baseball Leafs and the Havana Sugar Kings - with Fidel Castro throwing out the first pitch - and many more famous, notorious, and entertaining episodes in the history of this great city.

“No one has done more than Palmiro Campagna to document the story of Canada’s extraordinary Avro Arrow ... This latest work sheds new light on the Arrow’s fascinating saga.” — ANDREW CHAIKIN, author of A Man on the Moon An expanded edition of the bestselling book, including newly discovered American records that shed further light on the disastrous cancellation of the Avro Arrow. The controversial cancellation of the Avro Arrow — an extraordinary achievement of Canadian military aviation — continues to inspire debate today. When the program was scrapped in 1959, all completed aircraft and those awaiting assembly were destroyed, along with tooling and technical information. Was abandoning the program the right decision? Did Canada lose more than it gained? Brimming with information to fill the gaps in the Arrow’s troubled history, this new edition also brings to light recently discovered documents that answer whether the United States government wished Canada to continue the development of what was considered the world’s most advanced interceptor aircraft.

This is an incredible biography of a Canadian-born aeronautical engineer who has worked at every major aircraft company and the National Research Council in Canada for the past 50 years. It includes helping Jacqueline Cochran break the sound barrier and establish a number of world airspeed records in 1953. General Chuck Yeager, her good friend, helped her in the air, and Lewis helped her on the ground by providing her with a Canadian F 86 Sabre 3 powered with a special Orenda engine for her record attempts. Of interest to all Canadians is that the production version of the Canadian F 86 Sabre 3 became the best jet fighter in the world in the 1950s and 1960s. The author’s last aeronautical career move was joining Pratt & Whitney Canada, where he played a key role as the company became the world leader in design and development of small turbine engines. He accomplished this by successfully negotiating with the Federal Government for hundreds of millions of dollars in repayable loans to design and develop new jet engines. The biography also includes Lewis’ remarkable humanitarian work. It started with his joining a local Lions Club in 1961, and it progressed to building two new hospitals in Montreal for the Chinese community. In his retirement in Ottawa since 1989 he has been with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, initially to assist with the design of a new artificial heart and then later to negotiate with provincial and federal governments for financial assistance to develop the artificial heart.
