The Rocketdyne firm, formed just after World War II, was a pioneer in missile engines and space travel and is still building engines for the space shuttle today under parent company Pratt & Whitney. Kraemer, an aeronautical engineer who worked at Rocketdyne in the 1950s and '60s, details the company's story and projects through the recollections of team members as well as through the private library of Rocketdyne and NASA materials amassed by retiree Vince Wheelock. Many b&w images are included. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Rocketdyne: Powering Humans into Space
This book is framed around the author's father, who worked at JPL. It is about their difficult relationship and also discusses some of the history and key figures at JPL. She speaks of some of the controversies, from the early days with the involvement of former Nazi scientists, to the later shifting gender roles. While this was interesting, for a more in-depth history of JPL, I preferred Nathalia Holt's Rise of the Rocket Girls.
