Lead article (pp.112–115) of this German illustrated aviation biweekly, No. 6 of the 26th volume, 21 March 1934.
Opens by dismissing a garbled press notice claiming Goddard had abandoned direct rocket thrust for a turbine-driven design, then quotes at length from Goddard’s own account (via Scientific American, 1932) of a hybrid craft: propeller-driven in dense low-altitude air, direct rocket thrust at altitude where propellers lose efficiency. Reproduces schematic diagrams from Goddard’s U.S. Patent 1,809,271, cites 1930 turbine-rocket test firings at Camp Devens, and closes by tying the concept to his 1919 Smithsonian paper.
Also in the collection: Goddard’s own Scientific American account of his 1936 liquid-fuel rocket flight.
