The thing about that era that grabbed me were the rocket-propelled free-flight aerodynamic models that NACA tested at Wallops Island, Virginia. They make really excellent scale model rocket subjects, just because they are so zoomy looking, yet real historical rockets. One of my "Rockets of the World" supplements has nearly a dozen variations of them.
