U. S. Air Force Tactical Missiles 1949 - 1969 The Pioneers

the long version

The *U.S. Air Force Tactical Missiles, 1949 - 1969, The Pioneers* offers the rich, fascinating history of the first surface-to-surface tactical missiles of the U.S. Air Force, the winged Matador and Mace missiles, their units and personnel in West Germany, Taiwan, Korea, Okinawa and the United States. *U.S. Air Force Tactical Missiles, 1949 - 1969, The Pioneers* ties that unique era and those of other tactical missiles together in a remarkably broad, deep and valuable perspective that also includes the World War II German V-1 and reaches back all the way to the first flight in the United States in 1916 of an aircraft not controlled by a pilot.
