LITTLE GEMS OF AVIATION HISTORY

摘要

We would not have believed that so much history could be stuffed into so small a package, but Scott Libis convinced us that aerospace history is reflected in his collection of company pins, awarded to employees to celebrate years of service. Libis, a historian who worked in the aerospace industry for 30 years (on projects he's not allowed to name), was awarded a few pins of his own, but these beauties from an earlier age he purchased on eBay. The periodical section of his junior high school library was his favorite haunt; that's where he read copies of Aviation Week and Space Technology and "fell in love with the company logos."
