“Space Travel” by Willy Ley. Adventure in Space Series. Poughkeepsie: Guild Press, (1958). Illustrated by John Polgreen
TO THE READER
Space Travel is the fourth and last in a series on Adventure in Space. This series is the story of the rocket age, of how Man will escape from the air ocean surrounding the earth and conquer the open space beyond it. This age has already begun, its beginning was signalled by the putting of the first artificial satellite into an orbit around the earth.
The preceding three books in this series were entitled: Man-Made Satellites, Space Pilots, and Space Stations.
We hope that this series will be the key that opens the door to the rocket age for you.
– Willy Ley
