An obituary for Adelbert O. Tischler, who died on Jan 12, is presented. Tischler joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in 1942 at the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory (AERL). Drafted into the US Air Force, he was transferred back to the AERL laboratory to develop fuels of 150-octane rating for wartime aircraft piston engines. He was appointed Director of (Rocket) Propulsion Developments in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Office of Manned Space Flight. He was charged with initiating and developing the F-1, RL-10 and J-2 engines used on the Saturn series of vehicles. In 1960 solid propellant rocket technology was also assigned to his supervision.
