New video uploaded previewing this month's document release on Boeing Model 713 supersonic bomber wind tunnel model photos, Consolidated PB-2A with laminar flow wing, Goodyear MX 778 & 779 missile studies, and the Saunders-Roe nuclear-powered Princess.

My dear Zichek,

what was the Goodyear designation numbers (GA) for all those missiles ?.
 

After numerous requests, I am finally republishing the documents formerly hosted on the old Retromechanix site. These documents will be remastered with higher image quality and resolution, where applicable. These will be released periodically on my Gumroad site and not mixed in with the usual monthly releases of documents on Patreon, as I want to reserve that site for material I have not published before.

The video previews a collection of PDFs covering early postwar American VTOL efforts. The first subject is a trio of NACA reports on various convertible aircraft concepts by de Monge, Leonard, Platt-LePage, Wilford, Wishon, and several other designers. The second subject is the Zimmerman Flying-Wing Helicopter, a modification of the Vought XF5U-1. Included are two proposal reports, correspondence, and a special set of 1/72 scale plans digitally traced from the original. In total, there are 128 pages of material with 31 pages of rare drawings, artist's impressions and photos scanned at both 150 DPI and 300 DPI, depending on the version purchased. (Please note that the images are lightly watermarked with the Retromechanix logo).

This is a preview of a pair of PDFs covering the Fisher P-75 Eagle, an experimental WW II fighter powered by the Allison V-3420 engine. The first document is a 51 page Advanced Descriptive Data brochure from May 20, 1944 packed with photos, drawings and artwork documenting the P-75A in great detail. The second PDF is a 6 page NACA memo excerpt covering propeller testing of the XF-75A; it features 3 images of the airplane. In total, there are 57 pages of material with 45 pages of rare drawings, artist's impressions and photos. (Please note that the images are lightly watermarked with the Retromechanix logo).

As one of these documents appeared on the old Retromechanix site, I am selling these PDFS on my Gumroad store, as I reserve the Patreon page for material I have not published before. There is both 150 DPI and a 300 DPI versions available at affordable prices, the latter being more than twice the resolution of the images hosted on the old site.
