Description:
New York:: Putnam,, 1996.. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Inscribed by astronaut Mitchell on the half-title page. Apollo 14 astronaut Mitchell offers a vision in which technology and intuition are harmonized in pursuit of a more advanced consciousness. When Mitchell was hurtling back to earth after walking on the moon in 1971, he had a profound sense that all things are interconnected and that the universe is an intelligent process with which we need to link up. We hear how Mitchell began a career as a fighter pilot in the years following WW II, switched to NASA with the hope of being part of the new space program, and came to know the legendary Wernher von Braun, whom he believes was a true visionary rather than a Nazi opportunist. Mitchell tells how, while returning to earth, he carried out a private ESP experiment that seemed to yield positive results. Subsequently, he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, in order to test paranormal phenomena…

Boston: Small, Maynard & Co, 1921. First Edition. Hard Cover. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY WILL D. (BILLY) PARKER. Legendary pioneer aviator Will D. (Billy) Parker's copy, with his bookplate and ownership inscription of front blank: "Capt. Billy Parker/H.M.R.F.C./Dewey Okla/1921" in pencil. Parker had just served Her Majesties Royal Flying Corps - the inscription shows his pride. His bookplate reads, "Billy Parker/A Pilot Since 1912/ Test Pilot/Aeronautical Engineer." Billy Parker (1899-1981), became known as "the Boy Aviator" and carried private pilot's license number 44. As a high school student in Ft. Collins, CO, he built a glider, which flew to an altitude of 300 feet. Then he built a pusher (similar to the Wright Brothers plane), with a motorcycle engine, but it couldn't fly well above several thousand feet, because of thinner air (and insufficient horsepower). His mother helped him to purchase a 50 horsepower French Gnome engine - thus Billy Parker became a professional pilot. As a college student…
