This is a 1/12 scale model of the world's first liquid propellant rocket, flown on 16 March 1926 by Robert H. Goddard. The rocket achieved an altitude of 41 feet (12.5 m) in 2.5 seconds and landed 184 feet (56 m) away, crashing into the snow. The rocket was propelled by liquid oxygen and gasoline.

Mat Irvine in Great Britain created this model for the National Air and Space Museum in 1975.
