Was several times on sale on eBay, but all the way Gregory was somewhere else.
Wonna to get at least hi-res scans. Thanks.
flateric said:Sundog, thanks, it was probably the first book I got on ATF contenders ca 1990! Thinking of all these tiny b&w pics are originated as beautiful color photos in case of YF-23 makes me cry, because seems that Northrop Grumman archives are wiped out of this stuff.

Never heard of this before - I mean archives at earthhquake...I made a breach in famous as being super-grumpy Northrop PR stuff about 3 years ago, but all they could find were some original press-releases, one foldout advertisment and two pretty rare PAV-1/PAV-2 photos in common flight.
WMOF is moving to Louis Zamperini Field in Torrance, as they stated at their site. Interestingly, all WMOF problems started after PAV-2 was taken for restoration by Northrop.
