Published by ATLAS in the early Sixties, the series of Book of Space Adventures is a great addition to your space library. I've got number 3, which is packed with Sixties NASA space concepts and programmes, many which echo Project SWORD and Spacex/Golden Astronaut. I've posted a few pages here. Have you any old books containing designs which went on to become space toys?

Space Gliders a la SWORD and Spacex

Photonic Propulsion Space Station as well [below]?

Ace Jordan - nephew of Flash Gordon? LOL What a hoot. By coincidences, last night I started watching the original 1936 Flash Gordon serial w/Buster Crabbe. Just soooo cool.
