NASA Saturn V Manual 2016 (Haynes Manuals): 1967–1973 (Apollo 4 to Apollo 17 & Skylab)

i have a dozen of these manuals from years gone by dealing with my cars / vans / jeeps / motorcycles ... they are all dog-eared and oil-stained - i guess this one will stay clean . This is a fantastic read , a stunning collection of information and diagrams with incredible photographs too . Haynes have done something amazing here as i now have six new manuals of theirs looking at different subjects ... all are fantastic and i hope to get the Moon manual for christmas ... superb books and some are so cheap it would be simply rude not to get them ... check out the range and prepare to be enthralled as i have been

It is as described. A great present for a space buff!

This is quite simply a superb, enthralling book about the most amazing machine ever made, and who better to write it than the person responsible for the Apollo Flight Journal, as complete an online source for the Apollo program (together with the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal by Eric Jones and Ken Glover) as you could ever want. I thought I knew a lot about the Saturn V, but I'm learning so much more from this book. Having witnessed a Space Shuttle launch from about as close as anyone is allowed to the launchpad, I could only imagine at the time what an incredible spectacle a Saturn V launch would have been. Like another reviewer said, its only real shortcoming is the lack of an index, but I'm forgiving it that because the rest of the book is so good. If you have any fascination for spaceflight and the historic Apollo program in particular, this book would be a valuable, dare I say vital addition to your library.

Very informative, just be aware that thus is just the propulsion stages, not the command module and lander.

Once again another Haynes space manual worth its value. This manual focuses on Saturn 5 rocket that help propel Apollo to the Moon in late-1960's to early-1970's. Stuffed full of data covering all aspects of this mighty machine. Bonus is last chapter reviewing use of Saturn 5 as US first space station called Skylab, launched in 1973. This is a must for anyone interested in the Apollo programme & makes a good companion with other Haynes Apollo-related manuals like Apollo 11 & 13 in addition to manual on the Lunar Rover.

Nicely done. This is the best book on the Saturn V that I own or have read. The text and illustrations are superb and the level of detail very educational in an interesting way. Some of the component part images are astonishing, this truly was a work of art, shame we had to throw it away to use it! If you have an interest in Apollo then this is a must buy. Oh, and it IS rocket science.

As an avid Apollo mission enthusiast I had to get a copy of this manual. I have read other moon mission literature by David Woods and I'm really impressed with his depiction and style of writing where he is skilled at portraying technically difficult facts in layman's terms which are easy to understand. This book doesn't disappoint and delivers on all fronts. If you are an Apollo moon mission geek then this is for you. Highly recommended.

It just dropped through my letter box a couple of hours ago. What an excellent book and a fine complement to the other Hayne's manuals covering the Apollo spacecraft. The book provides an excellent level of detail and fantastic coloured technical diagrams to help understand he workings of various systems. At last, well illustrated explanations of those bumps and holes on the outside of the three stages! The book finishes with a chapter on Skylab. I hope that it is a precursor to another Owner's Workshop Manual by the same author on Skylab. Just one request to Hayne's, could you please release the Owner's Workshop Manuals in electronic format as well!
