Non-RAH YA Sci-Fi?

[jeriendhal]

Here's a query: Can anyone point me in the direction of some good 1940's-50's science fiction juvenile novels that weren't written by Robert Heinlein? I know there were many, but for the life of me I'm blanking on any titles or authors beyond Isaac Asimov's "Lucky Starr" books (which aren't exactly what I'm looking for, since the protagonist in them is an adult.)

Just trying to get some further inspiration for GURPS Solar Space, so I can re-start it and perhaps submit for consideration to e23.

They're not that early, but I find myself thinking of the Tom Swift books "Tom Swift and the Nuclear Highway," etc., and even the "Danny Dunn" books, but I think those started in the 60s.

The original Tom Swift books are actually much earlier than this-- from the teens to the early fourties. However, there was a series from the 50s through 70s as well. Wikipedia has a good article about it
