[275] APPENDIX G

MAJOR PROFESSIONAL AWARDS WON BY AMES PERSONNEL 1940-1980*

[*The listed awards reveal only a partial recognition of the many honors achieved by Ames personnel over the years. Because of space constrictions, I have omitted in-house awards from NASA and Ames, which represent perhaps even greater honors, recognition by colleagues for research excellence.]
