From Booklist
*Starred Review* By the time you’ve finished reading this work, you will know, beyond any doubt, that flying saucers are real. That’s because they’re lofted into the skies by Earth-based media magic (movies and television, especially), not creatures from other worlds. This book, following on the success of the authors’ highly acclaimed Spaceship Handbook (2001), begins with the true origins of the flying-saucer scares of the 1940s. Looking at the interrelationship between cold-war politics, human imagination, and media exploitation, Hagerty and Rogers treat flying saucers as cultural icons. They target some of the most popular flying-saucer appearances in film and print, taking into account their historical context. In a solidly researched and superbly illustrated work, the authors present detailed looks at media ranging from the menacing film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951); Twin Earths, an early saucer-based comic strip; and the 1960s television series Lost in Space. This is not a book about unidentified flying objects. UFOs are exactly that, unidentified. Modelers will love the engineering-quality drawings of some of the most famous saucers, including the classic C57-D from Forbidden Planet. For anyone interested in flying saucers, real or imaginary, this is a great book and a necessary companion to Spaceship Handbook. --Elliott Swanson
