WILLY LEY
Signed photograph of the German Spaceflight Society founder
(4¾x7)
Photograph signed: "Willy Ley", in black ink, B/w 4¾x7.
Scientist and space advocate Willy Ley (1906-1969) was a founding
member of the German Spaceflight Society, publishing his own book, Travel in
Outer Space (1926). With Herman Oberth, he was a technical advisor on
Fritz Lang's silent film The Woman in the Moon (1928). Leaving Nazi
Germany in 1935, he moved to Britain and then the US, where he continued his
advocacy of rocketry and spaceflight. He published nonfiction articles in
leading science fiction magazines, and wrote several books (one co-authored with
Werner von Braun). In 1944, he outlined plans for a 3-stage rocket designed
to reach the moon. His Rockets, Missiles and Space Exploration,
published the year of the Soviet Sputnik satellite, influenced members of
Congress. Corners slightly worn. Slightly toned. Fine
condition.
