1965, Proof Copy of "This New Ocean: The History of Project Mercury" Vol. II and III (NASA, soft cover, stapled) Two of the three volume proof set of this important publication! Each one of these "comment editions" is approximately 200 pp. each; they were produced under contract numbers NAS 9-1817 and NAS 9-3243. Rare! These volumes were distributed to roughly 100 participants in the Mercury program for their comments and modifications prior to final copy being readied for publication. Cover faults do not detract from this great glimpse into a seminal work.
