Description

A Smithsonian article chronicling 15 years of experiments by the rocket pioneer

Booklet, 6.5 x 9.5, 14 pages, of an article by Goddard entitled “Liquid-Propellant Rocket Development,” published by the Smithsonian Institute on March 19, 1936. Signed in fountain pen on the first inside page, “R. H. Goddard.” In fine condition. This article featured a report on Goddard’s results on various experiments with rocket propulsion, including his first successful test of the first rocket powered by liquid fuel. Many of these experiments were possible through the support of Charles Lindbergh and the Guggenheim Foundation. Goddard is quite scarce in any form, particularly with direct relation to his work. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
