Earthbound Astronauts: The Builders of Apollo-Saturn

by Beirne Lay Jr.

Fascinating and well written account of how the Saturn V was designed and built and the men who designed and built "By focusing on the problems encountered in the design and construction of each part of Apollo-Saturn, Lay treats the reader not only to a first-rate scientific detective yarn but a thorough, non-technical analysis of what precisely is required to fly a man to the moon and back." Illustrated with black and white photo plates and schematic drawing design of Saturn/Apollo launch vehicle endpapers. Also includes a listing of NASA Award Winner. Bernie Lay is also the author of "12 O'clock High".
