I highly recommend "Starship Through Space" and "Rocket Man", two of "Lee Correy's" best. He also had several short stories in Astounding SF and other "pulp" magazines of the 50's.
"Starship Through Space" benefits from having been "edited" (informally) by Robert Heinlein. The book is dedicated to Robert and his wife Ginnie. In turn, Heinlein dedicated one of his juveniles that he was writing at the same time, "Have Spacesuit - Will Travel" to G. Harry and his wife.
