Resource

An excellent resource on the Saturn program is "Stages to Saturn", by Roger E. Bilstein. It is part of the NASA History Series (NASA catalog number SP-4206), and is still available (US$50, + shipping) from the US GPO (http://bookstore.gpo.gov/subjects/sb-222.jsp).

While being somewhat dry as reading material, occasionally seeming very much like a technical manual, Bilstein's book covers the history and development of all the Saturn launch vehicles, from the first test vehicles through the last ones which were used to put the Apollo/Soyuz and Skylab missions into space.

The book includes many charts, diagrams, and photos, many of which are rare or unavailable anywhere else.

Highly recommended.
