Spaceshots and Snapshots of Projects Mercury and Gemini - A Rare Photographic History

Informationen zum Autor John Bisney is a former correspondent who covered the space program for more than thirty years for CNN, the Discovery Channel, and SiriusXM Radio, among other news outlets. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. Klappentext The race to space between the US and the Soviet Union captured the popular imagination. This book tells the story of the people and events of Projects Mercury and Gemini with hundreds of unpublished and rare photographs. Unlike other publications, which illustrate the space race with well-known and easily accessible images, this history draws from the authors' private library of over one hundred thousand high-quality photos of the early US manned-space programme. Zusammenfassung "A wonderful collection of rarely seen photographs that true space buffs will enjoy. The captions are worth their weight in space-fact gold.."--Richard W. Orloff! coauthor of Apollo: The Definitive Sourcebook
