Notes
Interplanetary Flight: An Introduction to Astronautics, an introduction to space exploration by Arthur. C. Clarke.

Publisher's Blurb – Jacket Flap
"For those who love to dream of Things to Come, here is a book which is serious, well written, informative and thoroughly agreeable."
-The Aeroplane

"For so small a book, this is remarkably comprehensive. It contains just enough mathematics and formulae to satisfy the stickler. The reader who has no stomach for such will lose nothing of the book's excitement and persuasiveness if he skips them."
-Times Literary Supplement

"The book is very clearly written, and even an almost complete ignorance of mechanics should not prevent anyone from grasping the author's conclusions ; he has, moreover, a light touch which makes this, for a text-book, very readable."
-The Economist

"Confidence, combined with considerable literary ability and a rare lucidity of expression, makes the present little book perhaps the best introduction yet written for those making their first contact with the interplanetary idea."
-Journal of the Royal Naval Scientific Service
