Those first ballistic missiles might have been traveling towards the Nazis from Britain rather than the other way around. He would have been better funded if he had been more open with the press about what he was doing; some of those later rocket experiments would have made great newsreel material. Pat Hearst's Metrotone News list newsreels under Robert Hutchings Goddard 1882 - 1945. They're not available on line. Selznick News and Vitagraph, were both active in the 1920s and 30s the period where Goddard through Lindbergh's influence got Guggenheim (the one the museum is named after) to give him $100,000 per year. Since Guggenheim lived in NYC, and since Selznick and Vitagraph lived in NYC, they both went down and filmed Goddard's efforts in New Mexico. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcGaMEXDWVk http://www.5min.com/Video/Robert-God...aphy-119827278 These biographies made in the 60s and 70s were taken from these newsreels. |
