Where would one find this painting ?
The painting shows Tipu Sultan’s army fighting the British and achieving a famous victory thanks to the rocket brigades , which probably is the first ever example of rocket warfare . The painting hangs in the lobby of the Wallops Flight Facility of NASA . It was this painting that greatly influenced APJ Abdul Kalam and even went on to find a mention in his autobiography , Wings of Fire .

The quick servers at google say – “The lobby of NASA’s flight facility (WFF), Wallop Island, Virginia”. It depicts Tippu Sultan’s use of rockets against British Troops, possibly one of the earliest uses of rockets as weapons.
Wallops Flight Facility at Wallops Island in East Coast, Virginia. This place was the base for NASA’s sounding rocket programme.
A painting by (Charles Hubbell) about the English confrontation with Indian rockets came in 1780 at the Battle of Guntur. The closely massed, normally unflinching British troops broke and ran when the Indian Army laid down a rocket barrage in their midst.
This is a pic of the Anglo-Mysore war where rockets were used successfully by Tipu against the British. At NASA?
