The National Aerospace Library's holdings on the history of space exploration, the evolution of the Space Age and the Apollo missions to the Moon have been enhanced through a number of donations from the extensive collection of the late Ronald Bedford OBE (1921-2012) former Science Editor of the Daily Mirror newspaper. The collection-which was presented to the Library by his widow Thelma on 26 September and includes a number of presentation copies signed by the authors-reveals Ronald Bedford's deep interest in the subject of space exploration from the launching of the first artificial satellites in the late 1950s, the first manned space missions (seen from the American and Soviet perspectives) through to the Apollo era and included a number of titles published during the 1950s and 1960s not previously held by the Library.
