Here's something rocketry related: a documentary about Britain's hybrid rocket/jet fighters of the 50s.
I really enjoyed this one.

Apparently the jet engines of the late 40s/early 50s didn't have enough oomf to push interceptors fast enough and high enough so they needed some rocket help. These would have been bitchin' had they made it to production.
