(NASA SP-350, 1975). This richly illustrated work was edited by Edgar Cortright and contains chapters written by various key figures in the Aopolll program such as James Webb, Robert Gilruth, and Werhner von Braun. Out of print for a number of years, this Web version should be of special interest due to the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission in July 1999. Our special thanks go to Hans-Peter Engel, who did a tremendous job scanning and formatting the text and the many full-color images for the Web.
