Beirne Lay Jr. (September 1, 1909 - May 26, 1982) was an American writer, aviation writer, Hollywood screenwriter, and combat veteran of WWII with the U.S. Army Air Forces. He is known for his collaboration with Sy Bartlett in authoring Twelve O'Clock High and adapting it into a major film. Lay enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in July 1932, and in June 1933, he earned his pilot's wings and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserve at Kelly Field. He was assigned to the 20th Bombardment Squadron at Langley Field, Virginia, flying the Keystone B-6 and Curtiss B-2 Condor bombers. Lay began his writing career while still on active duty by submitting pieces on aviation, published in The Sportsman Pilot, Esquire, The Saturday Evening Post, Today, and Harper's. Lay returned to active duty after the outbreak of World War II in 1939, as a flying instructor. The publication of I Wanted Wings brought Lay to the attention of the staff of Army Air Forces Col. Ira Eaker, chief of the Air Corps Information Division. Eaker arranged his transfer to Headquarters USAAC in Washington, DC, in early 1940. There, promoted to captain, he worked as a speechwriter for General Henry H. Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Corps. In January 1942, Eaker was made brigadier general and was deployed to England to create what would become the Eighth Air Force. Lay was made Eighth Air Force historian and film unit commander. Fascinating and well written account of how the Saturn V was designed and built and the men who designed and built it. "By focusing on the problems encountered in the design and construction of each part of Apollo-Saturn, Lay treats the reader not only to a first-rate scientific detective yarn but a thorough, non-technical analysis of what precisely is required to fly a man to the moon and back." Illustrated with black and white photo plates and schematic drawing design of Saturn/Apollo launch vehicle endpapers. Also includes a listing of NASA Award Winner. …
