First edition of this scarce early report on liquid propellant rocket engines developed by Aerojet- General at their Sacramento, CA facility developing the M-1 liquid-fuel engine for the United States Air Force. These liquid propellant studies and resulting rocket engines were used in the Titan II missile after converting an LR-7 and final testing by 1961, before being used on the 1st stage of the Von Karman designed Saturn V. The fuels developed and discussed here included Aerozine-50, Ammonia, Hydrazine, Nitrogen Tetroxide, Chlorine Trifuloride, often in certain mixutres. Aerojet developed originally from a meeting hosted by Theodore von Karman, at Caltech, along with Fritz Zwicky and Jack Parsons, with the company launching in 1941, later purchased by General Tire, and most recently Rocketdyne.

Scarce with just a single copy traced at the National Aerospace Library, Farnborough. CIOS was established from SHAEF's G-2 (Intelligence) Division as part of Operation Paperclip, it was tasked with seeking out and assessing caches of scientific and technological secrets, hidden test sites, and underground factories with the aim of co-opting Nazi German weapon technologies for the coming Cold War with the Soviet Union. The author, a chemical engineering graduate from Texas Tech, was a member of the US Navy's Naval Technical Mission in Europe, activated in January 1945 to assist in this task. Stiff had been working on jet propulsion with the navy's Bureau of Aeronautics since 1941, and after the war he continued in rocketry becoming an executive for the Aerojet Engineering Corporation responsible for the engines for the Titan, Gemini, Viking, and Voyager projects, and for the main engine on the Apollo Command Service Module.
