NEW YORK TIMES, June 14, 1928  One column headlines on page 29 include: "FLIES WITH ROCKETS AT TERRIFIC SPEED" "German Used Them to Propel Glider in Experiments. Berlin Press Reports" "OPEL MAINTAINS SECRECY" and more (see photos). This report details the very first flight of a rocket-powered aircraft, and a notable report in the history of rocketry.
