Un ami me transmet ce message de Bob Fish, l'auteur du livre :
I wanted to personally let you know about a new book that chronicles the recovery of Apollo 11 in great detail - Hornet Plus Three. This particular recovery operation was the most complex of the entire 1960's space race - a very compelling story that deserves to be told.
It took seven years of research, and another one of writing, to create this 212-page hardcover book. Hornet Plus Three contains significant information and many photographs previously unknown to the public as well as insights from the "command element", the leaders who made key decisions that resulted in a flawless recovery. These men fulfilled the final part of JFK's 1961 challenge to the nation of "landing a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth."
While it will be globally released via Amazon.com in July, I am personally signing copies of Hornet Plus Three for those who buy it from the Hornet Museum. This way the proceeds benefit our museum, so the legacy of naval aviation and space exploration can continue to shine brightly in the SF Bay Area.
Here are a few words from one person who was both a contributor and a reader: "I returned to my office and found HORNET PLUS THREE awaiting. I must say, it is an exceptional job and fills a gaping hole in the Apollo history. Well done !!" ... Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 mission commander

Apolloman, tu fais chauffer la Visa ?
