Current Journal of Propulsion and Power heads up

The current issue of the Journal of Propulsion and Power, Volume
19, Number 6, November - December 2003, has a section devoted to "A
Century of Aerospace Propulsion and Power Technologies". There are
eight very interesting papers:

1. History of Liquid Propellant Rocket Engines in the United States

2. History of Liquid Propellant Rocket Engines in Russia, Formerly
the Soviet Union

both by George P. Sutton of "Rocket Propulsion Elements" fame. He
mentions he has a new book on the history of liquid rockets due out
late next year.

3. Solid Rocket Enabling Technologies and Milestones in the United
States

4. Historical Survey of Solid-Propellant Rocket Development in
Russia

5. Liquid Fuels and Propellants for Aerospace Propulsion: 1903-2003

6. Development of Modern Solid Propellants

7. Advanced Space Propulsion for the 21st Century

8. A Century of Aerospace Electrical Power Technology

All these papers have very extensive references.

This issue is well worth checking out.

First this issue available online yet. Second, you'll need to have a
personal or institutional subscription with AIAA:

Let me second that; most JPP issues have at most one or
two articles worth a skim. This one I've skimmed cover to
cover, read a few sections in more depth, have set aside
for more detailed reading, and I've marked it for my shelf.

Unfortunately, for those who don't subscribe, I can't think
of a practical way to buy just one issue. However, a library
near you will probably have it.

That's because they're doing survey articles for the Centennial.
Ken's got one in an upcoming J. Aircraft, for example. I think the
various AIAA journal editors solicited articles from people known for
their broad expertise.

According to the cover of one of my old issues, They are prohibited
from library use for a couple of years.

? I think you need to read that more carefully, you've misunderstand it
somehow -- any good engineering library has current JP&P issues available.
