A Space Fleet Operations Manual in the famous Haynes Manual series covering the Anestasia, Tempus Frangit, Nimbus, Zylbat and associated Interplanet Space Fleet craft. The Eagle magazine saw Dan Dare setting out on a thrilling new mission every day. In 1950, the brainchild of parish vicar Marcus Morris and artist Frank Hampson, the 'Eagle' publication had half of its pages printed in full colour science fiction cartoon strips. The first Dan Dare tale was set 45 years into the future when the Earth's population had doubled and Space Fleet was trying to discover if food could be grown on Venus. Come aboard and explore the people, spacecraft and astonishing technology of the passenger and commercial craft, space bases and stations, Space Fleet defences and equipment, alien identification, Treen craft like Tharl's battleship and Crypt Interstellar craft and new drive systems like the Galactic Galleon. With Space Fleet history, badges of rank and insignia and facts, the catalogue is packed with the Haynes infamous cutaway drawings, data files, extended captions, colour photos and line art on every page. Also colour profiles of SIF personnel and the alien they faced over the years. 128pp, 21 x 27cm.
