Fritz Von Opel... motorboat speed.....



Item # 578521

July 19, 1928

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 19, 1928

* Fritz Von Opel
* Father of rocket propulsion


This 44 page newspaper has a small one column heading on the front page: "Opel Motorboat Beats Train; Speeds 58.84 Miles and Hour".

See photos for short article here. An early report on speed propulsion, very slow in today's standards.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Light browning, otherwise good.
