No dust jacket. 287 pp., including index. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches tall, octavo. Willy Otto Oskar Ley (October 2, 1906 – June 24, 1969) was a German-American science writer... The crater Ley on the far side of the Moon is named in his honor... His book Rockets – the Future of Travel Beyond the Stratosphere (1944) describes the early rockets at VfR and more futuristic projects to reach the moon using a 3-stage rocket "as high as 1/3 of the Empire State Building" – a very good estimate of the height of the Saturn V rocket designed 20 years later." -- Wikipedia
