The Rocket Team: Apogee Books Space Series 36

From a small group of amateur rocketeers led by Wernher von Braun, his rocket team grew into one of the most influential technological forces in this or any other century. The Rocket Team discloses much previously classified information, particularly involving the British intelligence effort to learn about Hitler's heralded V1 and V2 "vengeance weapons"; to delay their going into action and to minimize their effectiveness once they were developed. The U.S. and British documents, as well as information from von Braun himself, his papers, and interviews with the other members of his team, provide new insights into the wartime growth of rocketry.Frederick I. Ordway III is the author of 'The Rocket Team: Apogee Books Space Series 36', published 2003 under ISBN 9781894959001 and ISBN 1894959000.
