For as long as humans have observed birds winging through the sky or have gazed at the stars sparkling in the heavens, they have sought the means to free themselves of their earthbound restraints and soar through the skies or explore the outer reaches of the universe. Pioneers such as the Montgolfier brothers and the Wright brothers realized that vision and took us airborne, looking at the great expanse of sea and water below our feet. Men like Robert H. Goddard and Wernher von Braun and organizations like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration stretched the human imagination even further and laid the groundwork for not only launching satellites into space but also propelling humans to the moon and beyond. To celebrate the achievements of early luminaries and commemorate the historical milestones in air and space flight, HeinOnline has created the Air and Space Law database, a collection of resources that explores the people and programs that made climbing into the sky and whizzing into outer space a reality.

Read moreLatest & Greatest – Military & Government
HeinOnline’s newest database, Military & Government, delves into the history, administration, and evolution of the most powerful military in the world, one that is controlled, not by military leaders, but rather by civilians. The United States Military is comprised of six branches: the Army, which is the oldest of the six branches, the Marine Corps, the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force, the newest of the service branches. Although the U.S Constitution names the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and gives Congress the power to declare war, the National Security Act of 1947 set the stage for the current organization of the military. To help researchers understand the complexities of the administration of the Armed Forces and get a glimpse into the rich history of the American military, HeinOnline has created its Military & Government database, a collection of government documents, books, periodicals, and scholarly articles that examines the past, present, and future of this strong fighting power.
