Описание: In 1954 the U.S. Air Force launched an ambitious program known as WS-117L to develop the world’s first reconnaissance satellite. The goal was to take photographic images from space and relay them back to Earth via radio. Because of technical issues and bureaucratic resistance, however, WS-117L was seriously behind schedule by the time Sputnik orbited Earth in 1957 and was eventually cancelled. The air force began concentrating instead on new programs that eventually launched the first successful U.S. spy satellites.
Eyeing the Red Storm examines the birth of space-based reconnaissance not from the perspective of CORONA (the first photo reconnaissance satellite to fly) but rather from that of the WS-117L. Robert M. Dienesch’s revised assessment places WS-117L within the larger context of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidency, focusing on the dynamic between military and civilian leadership. Dienesch demonstrates how WS-117L promised Eisenhower not merely military intelligence but also the capacity to manage national security against the Soviet threat. As a fiscal conservative, Eisenhower believed a strong economy was the key to surviving the Cold War and saw satellite reconnaissance as a means to understand the Soviet military challenge more clearly and thus keep American defense spending under control.
Although WS-117L never flew, it provided the foundation for all subsequent satellites, breaking theoretical barriers and helping to overcome major technical hurdles, which ensured the success of America’s first working reconnaissance satellites and their photographic missions during the Cold War.

Описание: Excerpt from Aviation Physiologists Bulletin, Vol. 9: January-February 1945 The personal equipment problems encountered by an operational air force depend on the nature of its mission, the geography of its Operational zone, the climate conditions in that zone, and the competency, preparation and experience of the service facilities available to it. The problems encountered, therefore, will vary for each air force. It was anticipated that the difficulties met by the Eighth Air Force would be great, conditioned as they were by the great strength and long preparation of the enemy, the hazards of flights over treacherous waters, and the rigorous climatic conditions present over its base in Great Britain. Moreover, since it was the first American air force to embark on large scale operations, it served as a proving ground for the testing of protective flying equipment and.the adequacy of the training or Air Forces personnel in its use. Further, since it began its functions before the complete 'mobilization of the technical and productive resources of the nation had occurred it was anticipated that defects in, and shortages of, equipment would occur. In anticipation of these difficulties a new type of medical organization was set up in the Eighth Air Force. This unit, now designated as the First Central medical Establishment (sp), has served as a prototype for similar units in other air forces. One of its main sections, the Department of Physiology, was charged by the Surgeon, Eighth Air Force, with the testing and modification of all personal and safety equipment used or required by flying personnel. Its staff consists of trained air corps and medical officers, the latter consisting of both flight surgeons and aviation physiologists. The 4lst Altitude Training Unit is attached to it. By means of field trips and the Personal Equipment Officers' School, which it conducted, the organization maintains a close liaison with the combat squadrons in the field, primarily through the personal equipment officers.

Описание: Excerpt from Aviation Physiologists Bulletin, Vol. 8: November-December 1944 Other analyses have been carried out, particularly on the importance of position in aircraft on the incidence of anoxia. It must be noted here that no dif ference is made between 5 - 17 and 8-24 aircraft as the reports often do not specify the type of aircraft, and furthermore, the relative isolation of the crew members is almost the same in both types of aircraft. As there have been relatively few fighter pilots (5) who have had cases of anoxia reported, these have been simply included in the totals.
