Stephen Hector Taylor-Smith, who
passed away on 15 February 1951, was a pioneering Indian aerospace engineer who
developed techniques in delivering mail by rocket.
Unlike Friedrich
Schmiedl, whom the Austrian Authorities banned from further experimenting,
Smith was encouraged in his experiments by Indian Officials. In the ten-year
span of his experiments (1934–1944), Smith made some 270 launches, including at
least 80 rocket mail flights.
