'The Rocket Team' by Ordway and sharpe
I just saw a copy of 'The Rocket Team' by Frederick Ordway and Mitchell
Sharpe at Barnes & Noble. The 2003 edition includes a DVD with segments on rocket flights from the 1920s - 1960s, two lectures by von Braun, footage of Redstone and Saturn launches and other information. Any feedback from anyone who has read it? Thanks in advance. -- * Do NOT use Reply * Reply to K3TD via arrl dot net Tad, K3TD |

It is a very nice book, although at times I was a bit disappointed. The DVD includes some very interesting clips and others that could have been skipped such as some amateurish movie of White Sands where V-2s do not even appear! If you don't own the original edition I would recommend it. |
