American Scientist Made Many Finds In Rocket Studies Dr. Paul H. Goddard Laid Down Rocket Principle's The Army has made great strides in its guided missiles program. How ever, it is indebted to the late Dr. Paul H. Goddard for much of the ground work. Rocketry did not develop simply and gradually. Rather, its principles and theories have been worked on by one group of people, dropped, taken up fcf another, and sometimes forgotten or disregarded for generations. Dr. Goddard laid down principles of rocketry, including the methods of stabilization that are being used to day in the Army’s “rockets with brains.” Some of his other “firsts” were: 1. Development of the mathemati cal theory of rocket propulsion and rocket flight on which all military and experimental calculations now are ft based. I 2. He first proved—both mathemat ically and by actual test —that a roc ket works in a vacuum and needs no air or other substance to push against to obtain its impetus. 3. Development of a rocket motor using liquid fuels. He successfully used it in 1926, ante-dating its use in the German V-2 by nearly 18 years. 4. He was first to fire a rocket that attained a speed faster than the speed of sound. 5. He patented plans for “step” roc kets—the firing of a rocket from another rocket already in flight. 6. He developed a gyroscopic steer ing apparatus for rockets ten years before the Germans developed similar gear. 7. He was first to use vanes in the blast of the rocket motor for steering rockets. Borrowing from his achievements, the Germans during World War II unleashed the first long-range, rocket propelled missile—operating at super sonic speed—-ever to be used against an enemy. They ably demonstrated that their V-2 rocket could be employ ed successfully without air superiority, that weather had little or no effect on its performance, and that most coun ter-measures were ineffective against it. When the first Y-2 hurtled out of the atmosphere to strike London Sep tember 8, 1944, it .did not come as a complete surprise. Allied technical intelligence managed to gain infor mation about the V-2 more than a year before it was unleashed by the enemy. The first report, in the autumn of 1943, came from Zurich, Switzerland. It said the Germans had fired rockets that were 45 feet long and weighed 12 tons a distance of 35 to 40 miles. In January, 1944, reports came from Stockholm that a missile similar to this description rose to a height of 35 miles, traveled 65 miles before crashing, and caused a clearing 600 yards in diameter in a forest. When these missiles would be used by the Germans was a question fore most in the minds of the Allied com manders. This question was answer ed when the first V-2 struck London in the fall of. 1944. During the remainder of the war, approximately 2,676 V-2 missiles were launched by the Germans. Approxi mately 1,152 V-2’s were thrown against England—sl7 of them at Lon don. After the capture of Antwerp by the Allies, the Germans hurled 1,341 V-2’s against this port—6s per cent landing within a six mile radius of the center of the target. On May 8, 1945, the war in Europe ended. The launching sites had been over-run and Vengeance Weapon Two had been muzzled—but not for long. Ten months later, the New Mexico desert reverberated to the thunderous roar of another V-2. His Failing Hubby—Ah, let me back just one more horse, dear, and I promise it will be the last.
