Bøger af John Bisney

Captures the compelling story of John F. Kennedy's role in advancing the US's space program, set against the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The stunning collection of history and photographs crafted by authors John Bisney and J.L. Pickering illustrates Kennedy's close association with the race to space during his time in office.

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 present the rest of the Golden Age of US manned space flight with a photographic history of Project Apollo. Beginning in 1967, it chronicles the programme's twelve missions and its two follow-ons, Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.

The race to space between the US and the Soviet Union captured the popular imagination. This book tells the story of the people and events of Projects Mercury and Gemini with hundreds of unpublished and rare photographs. Unlike other publications, which illustrate the space race with well-known and easily accessible images, this history draws from the authors' private library of over one hundred thousand high-quality photos of the early US manned-space programme.
