IslandsInTheSky

Puffin Books Editor: Kaye Webb Islands in the Sky Roy Malcolm had wanted to get into space for as long as he could remember. He had read everything he could get hold of about aviation and astronauts, seen all the movies and telecasts from space, and made up his mind that some day he was going to look back and watch the earth shrinking behind him. When he was sixteen his chance came. He won a television Aviation Quiz Programme, and as his prize he went to the Inner Station, five hundred miles from Earth, where spaceships were refuelled and overhauled on their way out. Roy's adventures on the Inner Station are very exciting, more so because all the information given is scientifically correct, and they give us a good idea of what life on a space station really will be like. For readers of eleven and over. Cover designed by Secular Anderson ARTHUR C.
