Interplanetary: A History of the British Interplanetary Society - Paperback

by Bob Parkinson (Author)

"Interplanetary" by Bob Parkinson explores the history of the British Interplanetary Society that was founded in Liverpool on 13th October 1933 by a small group of visionary enthusiasts. From this small beginning it grew into an internationally recognised learned society that globally influenced astronautics throughout the twentieth Century. Through its technical studies and its journal, it has always been at the forefront of the development of space flight. The second edition, a decade after the first, celebrates the Society's ninetieth birthday. It has additional material and takes the history up to 2020.
