Hello All,
Listed below are several rocketry and space-related books, which I am offering for sale. Interested persons can e-mail me at blackshire@acsalaska.net , which is also my PayPal address. Payment by PayPal is preferred, but I will accept checks or money orders in U.S. currency (if payment is by check, the items will be shipped once the checks clear). Thank you for taking the time to look. Here is the list:
"A New Dimension, Wallops Island Flight Test Range: The First Fifteen Years" by James Adams Shortal (NASA Reference Publication 1028, this 774 page book is chock full of photographs and information on sounding rockets, meteorological rockets, missiles, supersonic test vehicles, ramjet test vehicles, Scout satellite launch vehicles, and Echo balloon satellite test vehicles that were launched at Wallops Island, Virginia from 1945 to 1960) Price: $15 plus $10.35 for Priority Mail postage
"Space Shuttle Phase B Wind Tunnel Model and Test Information, Volume 3 - Launch Configuration" by J. L. Glynn and D. E. Poucher (NASA CR-178416, this 541 page book has detailed drawings [including fuselage station sectional shapes and airfoil section shapes, more than sufficient for building flying scale models] of the wind tunnel models of the pre-1972 Space Shuttle designs that had winged flyback boosters and pressure-fed liquid propellant boosters) Price: $15 plus $10.35 for Priority Mail postage
**********************************************************************************************
NOTE: The next three (3) books are part of a three-book series. They are available either individually for $15 each -or- $40 for the entire set of three. In either case, the postage for each book is $10.35, as they are quite heavy.
"The Hypersonic Revolution, Case Studies in the History of Hypersonic Technology, Volume I: From Max Valier to Project PRIME (1924-1967), edited by Dr. Richard P. Hallion (this 745 page volume covers the World War II German A4B winged V-2 missile, the proposed Sanger "Silver Bird" boost-glide intercontinental bomber rocket plane, General Electric re-entry vehicles, the X-15, the X-20 Dyna-Soar, the ASSET and SV-5D [X-23A] PRIME lifting body re-entry test vehicles, and other proposed-but-not-built test vehicles)
"The Hypersonic Revolution, Case Studies in the History of Hypersonic Technology, Volume II: From Scramjet to the National Aero-Space Plane (1964-1986), edited by Dr. Richard P. Hallion (this 649 page volume covers the X-15 fitted with a dummy scramjet engine, the M-2, HL-10, X-24A, and X-24B lifting body research aircraft, ramjet & scramjet test vehicles, the Soviet BOR-5 lifting body re-entry vehicle, and the Phase A through Phase D Space Shuttle designs)
"The Hypersonic Revolution, Case Studies in the History of Hypersonic Technology, Volume III: The Quest for the Orbital Jet, The National Aero-Space Plane Program (1983-1995), edited by Dr. Larry Schweikart (this 363 page volume covers the X-30 National Aero-Space Plane [NASP] program that was ultimately cancelled in 1995)
