Description :

Books & Ephemera: Wernher Von Braun Trio

FIRST MEN TO THE MOON by Wernher Von Braun. Hardcover dustjacket/plastic protector. 1960, Holt Rinehart & Winston (New York NY). 96 pages. A novella written by the famous rocket scientist, sections of which first appeared in the periodical "The Week Magazine" in 1958 & 1959. Very good used condition.

I AIM AT THE STARS – THE WERNHER VON BRAUN STORY. Interesting publication in comic book form promoting the movie of the same name and also sanitizing motivations in von Braun’s past as a Nazi scientist; lots of romance and typical bravery tropes as would be expected of the time period when the US decided employing Nazis was preferable to communism. Note that the cover has pulled off the staples, easily repaired. See last photo.

I AIM AT THE STARS – THE WERNHER VON BRAUN STORY – 8 lobby cards from the movie version of the story covered in the above comic book. Measure 11” H x 14” W. In good used shape with some writing and pinholes.
