Moon Trip (1958)

 

Some of you are familiar with the Ley-Polgreen 4 book "Adventures in Space series (Man-Made Satellites, Space Pilots, Space Stations and Space Travel)." 

This is about a 4 book space series you may never have seen. Michael Chester and William Nephew also did a great series of books about the grand space flight progression. They may be less remembered because while their illustrations are great they used a limited color pallet.

So today is a repeat since I did blog about these books in 2010 but probably it is long enough to do a rescan of them. 

Here is the front and back cover of the paperback reprint


Nephew, William and Chester, Michael. Illustrated by Robinson, Jerry. Moon Trip: True Adventure in Space. New York: Putnam. (63 p.) 23 cm.










This is a very unusual HORIZONTAL take-off technique. I have not seen this illustrated before.
