Item description
LEO WHITE: MOUNTAIN ROCKET MAN
By Ralph Roberts
6" x 9", 112 page trade paperback, Worldcomm, ISBN #1-56664-042-3, First printing, Copyright 1997
In the decade following World War II, Leo D. "Pappy" White launched more surface-to-surface rockets than any other man in America. This fascinating story, written by an award-winning author who shares White's North Carolina roots, tells how, among other notable accomplishments in the fields of engineering and aerospace for longtime employer General Electric, White was in charge of firing all the captured German V-2 rockets at the end of World War II so that we could learn their secrets. He fired those fourteen-ton monsters for years, getting better performance out of them than even the Germans had dreamed possible..
The book is complete and in EXCELLENT condition with some overall light wear.
