A minor book but pretty sure I haven't shared this one before. I continue to find books used in school to teach about spaceflight. Overall they are about as colorful and gripping as you would expect a school text to be. I enjoy finding more pieces of the aerospace education initiatives.
Downing, J. G. Illustrated by Puig, Anthony. The Story of Communications Satellites. Exeter, England: Wheaton. (48 p.) 22 cm. Softcover.
Discusses satellites and includes a short history of space flight. From a series of books used in British schools about the history of communications.
Perhaps a little ironic to have Von Braun depicted next to a buzzbomb over London.

England's space efforts in the 1960s ended up being confined to spy and weather satellites.
