AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION by Panther Books, at 2s., is a book which anyone interested in aircraft or future rocket ships will want to read and possess to read again. It is an introduction to the problems of flight in the transonic and supersonic re- gions. It deals with pressures, density of the atmosphere at various levels, and the tem- perature effects met with due to friction caused by high speed. It covers the design of engines, deals with jet, rocket- assisted, rocket and modern high-speed, high altitude air- craft of the present day and glances at future developments stemming from _ discoveries made while smashing the sound barrier. This book also contains art paper photographs as well as many line drawings and, des- pite the technical subject with which it deals, is easily under- stood by the layman. No one interested in the problems to be met in the immediate ‘future of aircraft and rocketry will want to miss this book. The sections on special gravity suits and acceleration prob- lems alone will give you a clearer understanding of the problems still to be faced before we watch the spaceships take off for the moon. 155 © .* y 60 yeu 20a | i .
