Copy of missive, "Sinmun Scores US Cultural, Ideological Infiltration", July 1971
Scope and Contents
The Deputy Administrator of Aeronautics subseries contains material from the period immediately after Armstrong’s completion of spaceflight missions for NASA. Following the success of Apollo 11, Armstrong was assigned an administrative position in Washington, D.C., as the Deputy Administrator of Aeronautics, Armstrong was responsible for overseeing all NASA research involving the development of aeronautics and related technologies. Several publications concerning aeronautics can be found here, as well as a series of “programmed texts” on aeronautics that were used for training United States Air Force pilots who would be working with high speed aircraft. Of particular interest are a series of handwritten notes taken by Armstrong during his tenure as Deputy Administrator of Aeronautics. These notes cover a variety of topics, from U.S.-Soviet relations, to the development of aeronautical technologies at U.S. universities.
