Interesting to have a number of detailed reviews for a book not yet released...

Its an old book, maybe due for an updated edition?


Quite an interesting read.

Quite an interesting read.

It certainly is and for example using the names of the various scientists, engineers and technicians involved who were mentioned in the book I was able to track down several dozen Sidewinder related patents at the USPTO website (There are no doubt many more). Dr. McLean for example had had over 200 patents granted during his lifetime.
