For one man adequately to cover the whole practical and theoretical field of rocket propulsion is well‐nigh impossible: in view of this, the present work has been compiled from the work of four authors, three of whom are Belgian and one (Barrère) French. The whole, which originated in a series of lectures organized by M. Jaumotte, forms a fairly comprehensive survey of the field. Indeed, by its inclusion of three chapters on external ballistics it goes outside the limits of rocket propulsion as normally understood.
