Very Good, hinges cracked (as is typical from the weight of the textblock), light rubbing to spine ends and corners, rubbing to spine lettering, and former owner's name at the front free en…dpaper. Retains original "Restricted" classification of the Air Technical Service Command. Less wear than most extant copies. A massive rocketry work compiled by remarkable polymath Hsue-shen Tsien (also known as Qian Xuesen): a mathematician, physicist, and inventor of the field of engineering cybernetics. Tsien was a wartime US Army consultant at the time of publication; later he became Goddard Professor of Aerodynamics at Cal Tech. With the onset on McCarthyism his loyalty was questioned by American intelligence agencies and he was confined to house arrest for five years. He left the US for his homeland of China in 1955 on a boat, never to return. Some historians have argued this was greatest single loss the American scientific establishment ever suffered. Warmly welcomed upon arrival by the Chinese communist government, he was instrumental in producing the first Chinese ballistic missile, which also served as foundation for the country's first satellite. He is still revered in China as the father of their space and nuclear programs.
