Origin of book annotations (Tom Phillips?)
I recently came across a second-hand copy of McDougall's "Heavens and the Earh" at a Tucson shop. This was particularly interesting because of pencilled annotations by someone who had been active in rocketry through the 1950s and 1960. The name Tom W. Phillips appears in ink inside the cover (I'm not certain that he is the same one who did the annotations since they are in pencil and cursive...). One note deals with the WS-117L program, noting that it was either related to or was also known as Pied Piper (something I found in a single PDF index using Google; I am unclear on whether that was the same program or a 3 kw nuclear power plant intended to run the satellite). Another mentions a July 1945 meeting in Paris with an officer just returned from examining the Mittelwerk V-2 factories. He mentions having worked for Helmut Schelp of the Peenemunde group. Anyone out there know more about Tom Phillips (assuming he was the one who annotated this volume)? Thanks, Bill Keel |
