HISTORY OF THE ROCKET ENGINE by F. Gibson Butler
If you google this title I find it on the net but comes up 404 error when I click on it. I am just curious as to what this is? Did he write a book or something? I can't find anything about him on the net. Anyone know if he has a book or any history of Oldsmobile available? I assume he is no longer alive? Anyone with any information about Gibson Butler?

The URL suggests that it was an article from the Oct 2004 issue of the newsletter of the Arizona Olds Club. Perhaps you can contact them for a PDF copy.

This appears to be published in a German newsletter: https://1957oldsmobile.jimdo.com/old...ngine-history/

You want to know about the Rocket V-8? See the attached. I wrote an article for the November 2011 issue of The Buckeye Rocket, which is the newsletter of the Mid-Ohio Chapter of the OCA. I was the editor at the time, and I had to write articles as well in order to have content. It covers only through 1956, but there was a lot going on in those early years.
