http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733104228

This series contains six parts. The first part,JPL-1 dated November 20, 1943is a combination of two reports "the possibilities of long range rocket projectiles" by von Kármán and "A review and preliminary analysis of long range rocket projectiles" by Tsien and Malina. Included with this memo are diagrams of the rockets and performance graphs. The second item is an article summarizing JPL-1 section 89 from "Collected works of Theodore von Kármán" vol IV, 1940-51,Butterworks Scientific Publications, London , 1956.The next is a memo dated December 15, 1943 regarding "further engineering development and testing be done on kinetic air compression jet propulsion" The next is a report by the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory (AERL) "Fuel-oxidant combinations for use in rocket motors" prepared for the Army Air Forces, Material Command dated December 2, 1943. Finally there are two letters regarding the distribution of the AERL report . The irst is from Carlton Kemper to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) dated December 15, 1943, and the second is from W. F. Durand to Colonel G. W. Prichel dated December 29, 1943.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

Frank Malina (1912-1981) was an American aeronautical engineer and kinetic artist. Born in Brenham, Texas to parents of Czechoslovakian extraction (both musicians), Malina was for many years a scientist and directed American rocket research and UNESCO projects. In 1950 he learned the basics of oil painting from Reginald Weston and began to experiment, eventually leaving his UNESCO work to devote himself entirely to the pursuit of art. An early explorer in the field of digital art and the use of ...
