Modern Marvels of Flight (1956)




Modern Marvels of Flight (1956) fits into the British aviation category of books. The British much more than the Americans (seemingly) would have a chapter or two about spaceflight put in books that were primarily about aviation. This one is particular shows the basics of rocketry.
