On photo 56992, by the way, we can see real "Konstantinov's rocket" K. Konstantinov - Russian scientist and inventor in the field of artillery, missile technology, instrumentation and automation, General-Lieutenant. Konstantinov was illegitimate son of Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich - the younger brother of the Russian Emperor Alexander I.Ruotsinsalmi wrote:Use word "raketti" in SA-kuva search, you will find 50 photos of propaganda leaflet rockets.
