Very legible in pencil text block has fallen away from the rubber glue top. All 73 sheets are still inside. This comprehensive 5" x 8" Royalmont notebook journal has been well taken care of as none of the 73 pages exhibit tears creases fragility or foxing.

Every page is easy to read. The first day of this trip for The USS Monticello she had a convoy of 30 ships and blimp dirigible escorts. A quote from the first week:"We are going to England. I have heard that the Monticello is the fifth fastest ship and that this is only the second time that she has been convoyed.It is reported that we have 7M troops aboard". A later entry reads "We are to come across the Northern tip of Ireland through the Firth of Clyde. This morning we passed quite close to the Isle of Man". In the bay at Liverpool he states "Our Propaganda Machine is second to none. I would like to tell people how we are all being fooled". The sailor then boarded the former luxury liner the USS West Point "A beautiful American built just prior to the war-not all of the former splendid is gone but is now a troop ship". ; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA WORLD WAR II WWII NAVAL NAVY . paperback

First edition of this exceedingly scarce catalogue describing and illustrating the Agena stage rockets and the Agena Target Vehicle also known as the Gemini-Agena Target Vehicle GATV which was an uncrewed spacecraft used by NASA during the Gemini program to develop and practice orbital space rendezvous and docking procedures in preparation for the Apollo program. The ATV consisting of an upper rocket stage from Lockheed was launched from Thor and Atlas booster rocket platforms but suffered from continued docking adapter failures after being developed by McDonnell Aircraft Co. The Gemini program capsules were built by McDonnell Aircraft and were the first astronaut-manned spacecraft to include an onboard computer for mission maneuvers very similar to the later Saturn Launch Vehicle digital computer and actually had a fair amount of control largely due to the prodding of Astronaut Gus Grissom. The original NASA photos here depict the Gemini Agena on pad 14 at Cape Canaveral Astronaut White taking his spacewalk during Gemini IV and other GATV assembly procedures. Of particular interest is a test fitting of the Gemini VI capsule with the GATV at the assembly site before they were each mounted on their respective launch vehicles. Printed photos and mimeographed biographies for Astronauts Grissom Walter Schirra Jr. John Young and Thomas Stafford are included.
