He first tested his designs at Schoeckl bei Graz in 1924, concentrating on tests of "photographic rockets", which could map large areas from high altitude. In June 1928 he attempted flight tests of instrumented rockets that were to be launched from stratospheric balloons. In 1930 Schmiedl launched further rockets from Schoeckl, perfecting a parachute recovery system. His first successful post office rocket on 2 February 1931 transported 100 letters from Schoeckl to Sankt Radegund. He began with what he called "regular mail service" in September 1931 with launch of his G1 rocket from Hochtroetsch to Semriach.

Thoolen, c/o Mr. Donald E. Dickason, Wooster, Ohio, U.S.A. It is understood that each of these covers was franked with one 12 1/2c Jamboree stamp, but this cannot be confirmed due to the fact that the stamp on one of the covers was totally destroyed by the fire. The "Thoolen" covers were postmarked at Rotterdam-Waalhaven on May 1, 1937, then sent to Frankfurt, Germany, and placed on board the Hindenburg for the trip to America. Gerard Thoolen was a stamp dealer in Gravenhage. In 1936, he sent several covers by the airship "Hindenburg" to his colleague Donald E. Dickason in Wooster, Ohio, which he returned to Mr. Thoolen upon receipt. Mr. Dickason was then past president of the American Air Mail Society. Mr.Thoolen's Hindenburg crash covers were purchased by Mr. Dickason in 1937. Arthur Falk's "Hindenburg Crash Mail - The Search Goes on, 1976", lists 17 items mailed from the Netherlands. These are the "Thoolen" covers mentioned above. Further research by Sheryl Ganz in "Netherlands Hindenburg Crash Mail, 1985-86 and How Many of the Dutch Dispatches Survived?", increased the number to 26, that is nine covers in addition to the 17 "Thoolen" covers)
