"RocketBelt?s, Jetbelts and MMU?s come flying off the pages of this one-of-a-kind 2-volume aerospace history set.

But what really makes the Rocket Ranger books phenomenal is that the histories are told not by a writer, but by the history-makers themselves! Werhner Von Braun?s Engineer Thomas Moore does a tests of his Jetvest, Bell Rocketbelt Pilots Harold Graham and Gordon Yaeger show us how to rocket fly. Williams? Jetbelt Pilot Robert Courter flies his jet for us. NASA Astronauts James van Hoften and Dale Gardner walk high above the sky. For teens interested in aeronautics or astronautics this book is Inspirational. As the back of this book says: ?Some books retell the history. This book relives it!?

"Who would have dreamed that a comic strip, ?Buck Rogers? would result in a Manned Maneuvering Unit used in spaceflight? Read this fascinating volume to learn more. It is crammed with facts and photographs tracing the history of a dream to a reality. Once I began reading the volume, I could hardly put it down. The photographs are awe inspiring, most of which are in color. Upon completing the volume, it is obvious that Aerospace Historian, Mr. Olivo, conducted a tremendous amount of research compiling the facts and photographs. Mr. Olivo puts a unique spin on his narration. Sadly, the U. S. Space Program has come to an end. This volume should be required reading for everyone in Congress and the Executive Branch who made the unwise and unpopular decision to kill the Space Program."
