HANDBOOK OF ROCKETS AND GUIDED MISSILES

by Bowman, N. J.

Chicago, 1957: Perastadion Press, 328 pages, $6.50

Based on references to the widely scattered trade and engineering literature, useful tabulated data on world rockets and missiles, old and modern, are developed. Sideviews of many missiles are also included. While a very commendable effort, many inaccuracies exist, largely the result of the security barrier and the acceptance of figures found in the source literature that were not subsequently verified.
