Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington Dulles International Airport is one of the three major airports that transports passengers into and out of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The beauty of the site is admired not only by millions who arrive and leave the area, but by local residents as well. After an extensive study of three separate locations in Virginia, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower agreed to the Chantilly site and later chose to rename the world's first jet airport after his former secretary of state, John Foster Dulles. Renowned architect Eero Saarinen designed the magnificent building that serves as a gateway in and out of the United States. Today, the once peaceful farming area and small villages have turned into a fast-paced business world filled with thousands of new homes and residents.

This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A joint biography of John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, who led the United States into an unseen war that decisively shaped today's world During the 1950s, when the Cold War was at its peak, two immensely powerful brothers led the United States into a series of foreign adventures whose effects are still shaking the world. John Foster Dulles was secretary of state while his brother, Allen Dulles, was director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In this book, Stephen Kinzer places their extraordinary lives against the background of American culture and history. He uses the framework of biography to ask: Why does the United States behave as it does in the world? The Brothers explores hidden forces that shape the national psyche, from religious piety to Western movies—many of which are about a noble gunman who cleans up a lawless town by killing bad guys. This is how the Dulles brothers saw themselves, and how many Americans still see their country's role in the world. Propelled by a quintessentially American set of fears and delusions, the Dulles brothers launched violent campaigns against foreign leaders they saw as threats to the United States. These campaigns helped push countries from Guatemala to the Congo into long spirals of violence, led the United States into the Vietnam War, and laid the foundation for decades of hostility between the United States and countries from Cuba to Iran. The story of the Dulles brothers is the story of America. It illuminates and helps explain the modern history of the United States and the world. A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of 2013

This book was released on 1961 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of mobile-lounge traffic and servicevehicle traffic on the Dulles International Airport ramp is presented. Mathematical models were used that were developed under the previous phase of this contract and reported in Airport Runway, Taxiway, and Ramp Design. Vehicle operation and taxiing aircraft characteristics were observed at Idlewild Airport. The results of the analysis indicate that there will be no appreciable delays for either mobile lounge or other vehicular traffic in crossing the taxi lanes in the aircraft-parking ramp areas. In addition, it is recommended that a semi-automatic control system be considered for controlling the vehicular traffic crossing the aircraft-parking ramp area. A three-phase construction program is proposed to keep pace with the stages in the airport's development. (Author).
