THE CONQUEST OF SPACE Willy Ley, Chesley Bonestell 1949 hcdj Moon Mars Rockets +

Description: The Conquest of Space by Chesley Bonestell and Willy Ley. Viking Press, New York, 1949. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover in original dust jacket. VG+/VG- The illustrator gets first billing in this book because, as Willy Ley glowingly exclaims in the introduction, Chesley Bonestell and his art are the primary focus of the book and the reason for it having been written. But it is much more than that. It is also an introduction to the whole concept of space travel, which the world was largely unaware of in 1949. Ley's scientifically informed text and Bonestell's stunning illustrations paved the way for further speculation, ultimately propelling human civilization toward fulfillment of their dream.
