Description

“The hope today...is for a future time when our country, and all the nations of the world, can enjoy the bounty the earth is capable of providing”

Test pilot and US Air Force major general (1924–2010) who broke a number of records with the North American X-15 experimental aircraft during the 1960s, and supervised the design and development of several modern military aircraft. TLS signed “Robert M. White,” one page, 8.5 x 11, November 22, 1983. White provides his wish for future generations. In part: “The hope today, as it always has been, is for a future time when our country, and all the nations of the world, can enjoy the bounty the earth is capable of providing and sharing it in a fellowship that unfortunately does not always exist. If that hope is indeed an inspiration that provides impetus to a young person’s effort then it is knowledge and understanding that might allow a dream to come true.” In fine condition with light wrinkling.
