  • Description

    “OK, Venus?” “OK, Steve.”
    “Right… Let’s go!”

    With these words, Fireball XL5 rocketed onto TV screens around the world in 1962! Preceding both Star Trek and Doctor Who, it would set the tone for space-age adventure series in the years to come as well as raise the bar for family programming.

    But there’s always been something missing! What was it? And what’s being done about it? Let’s investigate! We are GO for launch! 

    Say hello to the all new Fireball XL5 World Space Patrol Technical Operations Manual! Penned by Space City’s brightest boffins (and our resident World Space Patrol experts) Andrew Clements and Chris Thompson, this hardcover book is lavishly illustrated in full colour and contains all the technical data fans have been longing to know about XL5, Space City, the alien spacecraft faced by our heroes, the World Space Patrol fleet and much, much more!

    World Space Patrol is the fourth release of the Technical Operations Manuals range.

Fireball Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My overall experience was outstanding!!!!!!!! I sincerely wish this book had been available back in 1963 when I 1st saw Fireball XL-5! It is a magnificent book lacking only one thing: The dimensions of XL-5! How that got overlooked, I don't know, but it's lack doesn't really detract rom the overall book. I learned a lot from this book, and it takes "Pride of Place" on my bookshelf! I will also feature greatly as I build a new large scale model of XL-5. I say 3 "Huzzahs" to the crew that put this book out. I HIGHLY recommend this book to any and all...especially if they, like me, are World Space Patrol fans!!!!!

Fireball XL5 book

Very quick delivery, and arrived in excellent condition. I have all 4 technical manuals now. , and becoming a lovely collection. Looking forward to more being released, especially Stingray, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. Thanks for these brilliant, detailed volumes.
