...early days after World War I, when most airmen agreed that the skies belonged to liquid-cooled plane engines, Fred Rentschler said flatly that the future lay in air-cooled engines. He helped start Wright Aeronautical Corp., went on to found Pratt & Whitney, whose lightweight, air-cooled Wasp engine was the first big U.S. advance, brought the air age roaring in. To meet its requirements, Rentschler's United Aircraft put together United Airlines as the first coast-to-coast carrier, pioneering a new era of transportation. The Government made Rentschler give up his airline, but nothing could stop...
...vehicle, Rosen told the National Capital Astronomers, will be a three-stage rocket 72 ft. long and 45 in. in maximum diameter. It will have no fins, but will depend for steering on its movable rocket motor and an array of small gas-jets. The tanks holding the propellants (liquid oxygen and gasoline for the first stage, nitric acid and dimethyl-hydrazine for the second) will be thin-walled to save weight, and will have little strength when empty. When they are full and highly pressurized with helium, they will become as rigid as auto tires and strong enough...

...British ground-to-air guided missiles in action. Shot at the trial range at Aberporth, Wales, the films follow the launching and flight of the experimental missile, which reputedly can travel at 1,000 m.p.h. at heights up to 60,000 ft. The missiles are fueled with alcohol and liquid oxygen and presumably controlled by electronic computers on the ground. The filmed sequence, shown last week on NBC, starts (bottom left) as the missile heads skyward, powered by wraparound booster rockets, which begin to fall off (upper left) as the missile reaches top speed. The missile then cuts...
