Gatland presents factually all the main information now available on the development of guided weapons in Britain, the United States, Germany, the U.S.S.R. and elsewhere, and out lines their present and future possibilities.

A unique feature is the appendix showing the characteris tics of all the more important powered missiles known to have been designed or constructed—a total of 90.
