...need to train a man for two or three years for a technical job, only to lose him to private industry a few months later. This is a crucial loss in the supersonic age: while it took only two men to check out the 24 electronic boxes in the older F86D, it requires ten to check the F102B's 210 electronic boxes. Private industry strongly believes that a smarter and cheaper way would be to let business do the job; the military should follow the trend in private business, where many firms no longer try to maintain such equipment...

It is merely another proof that mother is always right...

It follows the great Spaniard's endlessly experimental career from boyish leanings on older masters to the unpredictable individualist of old age who still defies simple analysis. The book does this in parallel critical and biographical commentaries that are expertly illustrated by the pictures appropriate to each page. A valuable attempt and this year's real bargain among art books...
