Three rocket articles from Popular Aviation’s 1937 volume. Alvin Edward Moore’s two-part “Space Navigation by Rocket” (Feb.) and “Sky-Rocketing Through Space” (Apr.) survey rocket history from Heron of Alexandria to Goddard’s Roswell work. Charles G. Philp’s “Where Is Rocketry Today?” (Oct.) gives the fullest account, tracing Goddard back to his 1919 pamphlet and the Guggenheim-funded Roswell flights; Philp’s own 1935 book on the subject is also in this collection. Moore: Popular Aviation, February 1937, pp.27-28, 66-67; April 1937, pp.35-36, 62. Philp: Popular Aviation, October 1937, pp.49, 70.
