From the Neosho Daily News:
quote:
Under the rather-unassuming name of U.S. Air Force Plant No. 65, Neosho men and women built the rockets which eventually put a man on the moon.

Now, that story has been told in photographs.

"Spacetown U.S.A." details the history of the plant which manufactured liquid-propelled rocket engines for ballistic missiles and later unmanned and manned space crafts.

...

The book is available at Premier Turbines for $10 a copy, and can be mailed for an additional $2.50. Supplies of Spacetown U.S.A. are limited, as only 750 volumes were printed.


For more details, read Book a pictorial history of Rocketdyne
