Catalog D · Prelude to Sputnik

Revised and about 60 percent larger than the 1949 first edition (Catalog C), with a preface dated July 1956. Three new chapters cover solid propellant rockets and a new chapter covers heat transfer, with added data, problems and a bibliography of some 650 references. The 13 chapters run from classification and rocket history through nozzle theory, liquid propellant thrust chambers and systems, to flight performance and testing.

Sutton was then Engineering Section Chief at Rocketdyne, a Division of North American Aviation, and still taught at the University of California Extension. This copy is the third printing of March 1958.
