Fascinating History of Rocket Fuels

[artwhaley]

I just started this - Ignition, by John Clark.   The whole text is free online.  He was a researcher with the U.S. Navy between the 40s and 60s when the major work was being done on liquid propellants.  I'm enjoying it thoroughly, and thought you guys might too!

It is a really good book, would thoroughly recommend to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

If you go through some of the forum posts about rockets and rocket fuels it's cited frequently by quite a few members of this forum.

If I could find a hard copy for less than $200, I'd probably buy it. I'm not much of a rare book person but I'd love to have a copy.
