Pedro Paulet

Pedro Eleodoro Paulet Mostajo (2 July 1874 or 4 July 1875 – 30 January 1945) was a Peruvian diplomat and industrial chemist. Some early rocket experts described him as a pioneer in aeronautics based on Paulet's retrospective statements detailing his construction of a liquid-propellant rocket engine and a modern rocket propulsion system in the 1890s, though his experiments were never independently verified.
