The Huntsville Rocket Society was a group of rocket enthusiasts in Huntsville, Alabama. In 1942, during the Second Great War, the Society submitted a report to the Confederate general responsible for the air defenses of Alabama and Mississippi outlining possible uses of rockets in the war effort. He, in turn, endorsed the report and forwarded it up the chain of command eventually reaching President Jake Featherston. However, the Society was never able to develop such a weapon. Huntsville fell to the U.S. Army in 1944 along with the Society's manufacturing facilities.
