Lot 359
Rockets, "The Mitchell Scharpe" Peenemunde/Rocket Reference Files, This six-carton lot is straight from the author's files and includes most of the scource material for Fred Ordway and his book "The Rocket Team" about the German rocket scientists who were spirited out of Germany after WW II and who became the basis of the US rocket program. While most of the material in this lot are photocopies, there is a fair amount of original coorespondence and carbons relating to events of WW II. It would take anyone interested in the history of rocketry years trying to locate all of this information. Fascinating reading with some in the original German. Mixed condition as would be expected.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500,
