I don't know; I suppose if he was interested in war games. I'd never heard of it.
I don't know the publishing history of it, but I suppose it's likely he would have, when you put it that way. A copy was in one of the local libraries when I was a child; I'm comfortable saying it wasn't a first edition, but I don't remember when it was printed. From what I recall of the then-new preface, I'd suspect it was sometime in the 50s or 60s.
. . . okay, Herbert, I know you're trying to be progressive, but you're actually not helping.
Word.
If you mean Barbara Bel Geddes, she was his daughter, although I think she was better known as an actress. If you mean someone else, chances are still high: Bel Geddes was an invented last name.
Ah, right. It didn't hit me at the time that the surname was Bel Geddes, rather than simply Geddes.
There's this Australian (I think) photographer named Anne Geddes who makes photographs of babies; I think they're sometimes costumed as flowers or things like that. Having googled, I doubt they're close relations, if related at all.
I found it interesting that Norman Bel Geddes grew up in New Philadelphia, Ohio. I remember visiting there as a child; they've a reconstructed 18th century Moravian mission.
