Review: This book provides a comprehensive history of US space suites and makes fascinating reading from early suites for oxygen and thermal protection at the end of the First World War to the sophisticated space suites of today. The book is well illustrated with many drawings and black and white photos which mirror the advance in spaceflight over the last decades. The text contains a considerable amount of information on the people, the history and technical requirements being faced in suite development.
