Burlington, ON, Canada 2002 Paperback New in No d/j as Published jacket 4to-over 9?"-12" tall. Foreword by Sir Arthur C Clarke. Space exploration began with model and toy ... rockets. History shows that the greatest Rocketeers began their careers flying model rockets. Now in this book the story of the space race is told in dazzling colour. From the birth of models to the present day the toy rockets have often inspired the real rockets of the future. In fact model manufacturers like Revell and Aurora were frequently in trouble with the defence department for revealing military secrets! This is the Story of the Space Age, and uses the models to illustrate the way history twisted and turned to put us where we are today--and maybe how space travel will develop in the future. 352pp. *****PLEASE NOTE: This item is shipping from an authorized seller in Europe.
