This was the personal copy of Laurence K. Loftin, Jr. In 1970 Loftin held the position of Director for Aeronautics at the Langley Research Center and he was chief Aeronautical Engineer at Langley from July 1972 until his retirement from NASA in December 1973.

I have my own GPO (Govt Printing Office) purchased copy (from the Los Angeles GPO). Many think that there is only a civlian non-NASA book by this name (a good book about the lunar module, that, but this one was first). I recently saw a copy of this on a shelf going for $200!! I paid something on the order of $8-10.00. My copy however is softback, otherwise the cover is identical.
