Customer Reviews

Great historical reference

I loved this book. The writing is very good, the pictures are special because of their age, and the history is nicely resourced. How about another one from the authors?

entertaining

This book offers great photos and information on the history of rockets and missles, and the space program. I like how it's written in a clear, easy-to-understand way.

Classic

This book will become a classic and in some places is. It gives the inside scoop on government-concealed Wallops Island Nasa Facility through a wonderful pictorial history. Great!

Powerful info

I love this author's pictoria histories. There's great information in it and equally good pictures. Nice job.

That's how they do rockets?

Great research on the history of space and Wallops Flight Facility; interesting, too, with wonderful photos. Good deal.
