"Magnificent Mavericks,"
the story of the creative military/civilian team who
worked at the China
Lake Naval Ordnance
Test Station (NOTS) and Pasadena from 1948 to 1958
is now available.
The book encompasses an era China Lake retirees look
back on as "the fun years." Described are the vibrant
life of the community, the colorful characters, the
ranges and facilities, as well as fascinating stories
(including the politics) of such successful weapons as
Sidewinder, Polaris, and ASROC.
The author,
Elizabeth Babcock, retired in 1996 and her current
schedule involves part-time jobs as copy editor for the
News Review (local weekly newspaper), staff writer for
the Ridgecrest Chamber of Commerce, and history curator
for the Maturango Museum. |
