Description
Winner of the Bronze Medal for Science in the 2016 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards
In this companion volume to John Bisney and J. L. Pickering�s extraordinary book of rare photographs from the Mercury and Gemini missions, the authors now present the rest of the Golden Age of US manned space flight with a photographic history of Project Apollo.
Beginning in 1967, Moonshots and Snapshots of Project Apollo chronicles the program�s twelve missions and its two follow-ons, Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The authors draw from rarely seen NASA, industry, and news media images, taking readers to the Moon, on months-long odysseys above Earth, and finally on the first international manned space flight in 1975.
The book pairs many previously unpublished images from Pickering�s unmatched collection of Cold War�era space photographs with extended captions�identifying many NASA, military, and contract workers and participants for the first time�to provide comprehensive background information about the exciting climax and conclusion of the Space Race.
