    Description

    An informative relic from the 1960's with an intriguing look at the science of the time and the expectations of the future of space travel. Packed with evocative illustrations drawn with the charm and mystery of it's era. Part of a great series of books, each one a marvel of it's own.
    Clayton Knight OBE was an American aviator during World War I. He was also an aviation artist and illustrator, and is known for being one of the founders of the Clayton Knight Committee and the illustrator of the comic strip Ace Drummond.
    Fascinating information on what it will be like if we ever send someone to Space. No one has been there yet in 1960, before the Space race!
    As a bonus included is a tattered ad for Bell Systems touting the very FIRST cellular call.
    Condition: The book is soft cover, cover a bit rough has tape and sticker on it. Inside has yellowed with age as can be expected but clean, no writing.
