Rockets of the World, Third Edition - A book about space boosters and
sounding rockets compiled with the modeler in mind.
Rockets of the World: Third Edition (revised in 1999) is a reference book on historical and current rockets. While originally written for modelers, non-modeling space enthusiasts will enjoy its unique mix of detailed illustrations and historical and technical information not found in other books.
Rockets of the World gives you the detailed technical information you need to model rockets from around the globe! Fascinating historical summaries have earned the praise of modelers and armchair astronauts around the world.
Rockets of the World has rapidly become the favorite reference for documenting Scale and Sport Scale models in National Association of Rocketry competition.

Dave's Summary:
I was the happy winner of this book in the last EMRR photo contest. At first
glance, the book is professionally produced, with a good sturdy binding and top
quality paper. The book shows what a tremendous amount of work went into it,
and displays info about the individual rockets in a consistent, clear manner.
Each rocket has a written description, with pertinent historical facts and
interesting trivia, a photo (or photos) of the rocket, a dimensioned line
drawing, and a descriptive shaded paint scheme drawing, in multiple views if
necessary. Most of the rockets also have a 'Specifications' area with Liftoff
weights, Thrust, Duration, Impulse, etc.
