Paging through BOYS' LIFE, Part 3: Robert A. Heinlein's Scouts into Space
Robert Heinlein's contributions appeared in Boys' Life long before my own time as a Scout, so I know them from books. But once again, it's interesting to see the original illustrations. Reynold Brown did good interior illos for Satellite Scout in 1950, but the cover painting of the first installment is a torchship by none other than Chesley Bonestell. 
"Nothing Ever Happens on the Moon" (April through May 1949)
Part 1, Part 2
Satellite Scout, better known as Farmer in the Sky (August through November 1950)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
Tramp Space Ship, better known as The Rolling Stones (September 1952 through December 1952)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
"Tenderfoot in Space" (May through July 1958)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
Boys' Life was an important market at a time when Heinlein was working to establish himself as an author of childrens' fiction. It put some of his stories in the mailboxes of millions of boys, and into practically every library.
(Part 1 in this series is Donald Keith's Time Machine Stories. Part 2 is Arthur C. Clarke's "The Sunjammer.")
