Andy B's By Spaceship To The Moon

Dear Paul,
As you are still featuring space excavators etc. in the blog, wondered if these were of interest. They are from "By Space Ship to the Moon" by Jack Coggins and Lester Pratt. I think it was published in the 1950s. I understand it and the companion, "Rockets, Jets & Guided Missiles" were very influential reading matter for some boys who grew up to be rocket scientists at NASA. The art is very good in both volumes, and could copy more if anyone is interested.

I got a copy of this cheaply some years ago. The artwork is marvellous! And those spacesuits ... like armour!

I for one would love to see some more of this super retro stuff.

I'll send some more pictures from the volumes to Woodsy in due cours, in case of interest. May take a little time, as deluged with work.
