Title
Robert Goddard With Kris, Guggenheim, Lindbergh and Ljungquist
Full Description
Standing in front of the rocket in the launch tower on
September 23, 1935, are (left to right): Albert Kisk, Goddard's
brother-in-law and machinist; Harry F. Guggenheim; Dr. Robert H.
Goddard; Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and N.T. Ljungquist,
machinist.
Charles Lindbergh, an advocate for Goddard and his research,
helped secure a grant from the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim
Foundation in 1930. With that money Goddard and his wife moved to
Roswell, New Mexico, where he could conduct research and launch
rockets while avoiding the scrutiny and criticism of his
colleagues and the press.
