Description :

Trio of books focused on Rockets/missiles and lots of speed! Look closely at pictures to judge condition.

WINGED ROCKETRY by Major James C Sparks. Hardcover dustjacket/plastic protector. 1968, Dodd Mead & Co. (New York, NY). 183 pages. Dustjacket shows use, but book itself looks brand new and unread. 

THE ROCKET – THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF ROCKET & MISSILE TECHNOLOGY by David Baker. Hardcover dustjacket/plastic protector. 1978, Crown Publishers (New York, NY). 276 pages. Large format book (measures 13.5" H x 9.75" W) with terrifically detailed info and lots of photos. Great historical timeline of rocket  development and includes an international compendium at the back of rockets & missiles as of publishing date. Dustjacket was ripped on spine (now enclosed in protector) and the cover shows a bit of use, but still in good condition.

SKYROCKETING INTO THE UNKNOWN by Charles Coombs. Hardcover dustjacket/plastic protector. 1954, William Morrow & Co. (New York, NY). 256 pages. In good condition, but does show wear from use, more on the dustcover than the book itself.
