"Sidewinder: Creative Missile Development at China Lake", by Ron Westrum

[talbalos]

I read this book over 10 years ago. Very informative, and entertaining, regarding the bootstrap development of the world's first IR guided air-to-air missile. Amazon's algorithm caught up with me and told me I might be interested. The Kindle version is on sale, but they do indicate that hardback and paperback copies are available. Thought I'd share with you.
