Octavo, red cloth, spine printed with bright-blue block with gilt lettering, front cover has a bright-blue reversed-out printed stamp of the publisher's logo, [x], 244 pp., eight double-sided black-and-white plates, illustrated throughout with black-and-white diagrams, one appendix included. Spine ends slightly bumped and rubbed, foxing on endpapers, very slight browning on leaves as common to publications of the period, edges of dust-jacket slightly worn and torn without loss of text; overall a very good copy with clean and crisp internal leaves and a very good dust-jacket. First edition, very scarce. G. Edward Pendray was an expert on rocket power and in 1930 was one of the founders of the American Rocket Society. He wrote for many years about science, and conceived and directed the first Time Capsule Project at the New York World's Fair in 1939. In this informative book, written in the last year of World War Two, Pendray traces the evolution of rocket principles, from their discovery in China centuries before to wartime developments including robots, the bazooka and the jet-propelled plane. He also speculates on the potential of rocket technology in making interplanetary travel a reality. Written in pencil inside the back cover is the name "Michael Sadoski". Seller Inventory # 4889
