Data on the American rocket pioneer's liquid propellant rocket researches from 1929 to 1941 are included, taken from his personal notebooks. The book covers experiments and flight tests conducted in Massachusetts and in New Mexico. It is what may be called a rocket engineer's diary of events preceding and following static and flight tests.
