About Luigi Gussalli
- Luigi Gussalli (1885–1950), engineer and inventor, was a pioneer of motor cars.
- He turned to astronautics in the 1920s, corresponding with world leaders in this field, such as Oberth and Goddard and exchanging with them theories on interplanetary flight and its prospects.
- He developed a special double-reaction engine, wrote extensively on multi-stage rockets and published two books on space travel.
- The first one, in 1923, described a space flight to the Moon, the second one, written in 1946, is even more astonishing in its theme: “Interplanetary travels by means of solar radiations”.
