Shuttle, Houston: Personalized copies now available
Moderators please note: Post pre-approved by Doug Reeves
Great news! We have partnered with our pals Emily and Mike at Speleobooks to provide autographed/specially inscribed copies of Ironflight's (Paul Dye) book at a great price. Paul is a long-time contributor to this forum and Editor-at-Large of KITPLANES magazine. The book is a compilation of stories from his 33 years with NASA's Space Shuttle program...from STS-1 through STS-135.

An excellent portrait of Mission Control, the teams, and the later missions. This should be required reading for anyone aspiring to be part of human space flight, as well as all scientists, engineers, project managers of any kind, and anyone considering a career in a highly complex field or program.

Glad to see some folks taking advantage of this - we’ve been trying to figure out a way to get folks autographed copies in a world with no in-person events, and having Speleobooks step in to help is making that possible! I signed a bunch today, so there seems to be a good response so far - thanks!
Paul
