95 Years Ago: Goddard’s First Liquid-Fueled Rocket - NASA
WEBMar 17, 2021 · Goddard began experimenting with liquid-fueled rocket engines in September 1921, using gasoline as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer, successfully testing the first one a little more than two years later. After further refining the engine, Goddard was ready for its first flight.

(26) Robert Goddard and His Rockets - NASA
WEBOn March 16, 1926, Goddard flight-tested his first liquid-fuel rocket. He thought stable flight could be obtained by mounting the rocket ahead of the fuel tank, with the tank shielded from the flame by a metal cone and the lines for fuel and oxygen pulling it behind the rocket: the design worked, but did not produce the hoped-for stability.
