Von Braun did some book called The Exploration of Mars. We had it in our Middle School library, and I looked at it a bit.

It's described in the Encylopedia Astronautica article I linked to and Portree's monograph.

Dr von Braun had a story in the April 30, 1954 issue of Colliers Magazine that gave his thoughts on mans first trip to Mars. I posted a part of this story (#18) in the thread "What's the hurry to go to Mars?" This thread is listed on page 90 Sept.,13 2004 of Space Exploration

I remember hearing a presentation on the Planetary Grand Tour back in the 1960s. It never made it but some of the ideas were incorporated into Voyager.
