Its Fathers Day in the Uk, so best wishes to all you dads out there! My wonderful daughter and son are very attentive to my hints on gift ideas, so I was duly rewarded today with a couple of choice items for my burgeoning bookshelf!
A book on the Soviet Manned Space Program - how cool is that! This very minute I am at work, reading a book I got from the Library, "Russia's Roswell Incident," by Stonehill & Mantle. Talks a good deal about the Soviet Space Program. So many UFO sightings in the former Soviet Union!
I did hint really strongly! The book is pre Glasnost, so its dated and subject to a little soviet era spin. Its lavishly illustrated though and very thourough. I read recently that Roswell itself was a propaganda plot by Stalin who enlisted Joseph Mengele's help to procur some small human subjects, who were then fitted out as pilots is one of the Horten brothers flying wing jet aircraft and dropped over the states to simulate a crashed spaceship! The idea being the US public would be so rattled by the ldea of a martian invasion, they would pull out of WWII!
