http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733104427

From the introduction "At the time of the 13 June 1946 V-2 firing at the White Sands Proving Ground, the possibility of using a V-2 as the first step of a combined V-2 WAC step-rocket was discussed at some length by Colonel H. N. Toftoy, Lt. Colonel H. R. Turner, Dr. H. V. Porter, and Dr. C. B. Millikan. Following his return, Dr. Millikan initiated studies at the Jet Propulsion laboratory of feasibility of this project and of the performance that might be expected if such a missile were constructed."
