late 1950s

Hi, this is a question for the real 8) F-108/WS-202A experts. My research in the less-known corners of U.S. aircraft nomenclature space ;) turned up two pages (attached) about the request for allocation, and subsequent rejection, of the "XQ-11" designation to something called "F-108 Airborne...

Two magazines („The Aeroplane“ and „Flugwelt“) mention a Chance Vought XF9U as an further development of the F8U with big radar in the nose and air intakes similar to the F-105. Is it a hoax or a secret project? Who is able to help?

Hi Everyone! Here's some information on a VSTOL transport design, the Vanguard Omniplane Model 30. All I've been able to find is a three-view and one other illustration, but if anyone can find other information such as Tech Data please post it on this website. Thanks! Chuck

Does anyone have any information, design designations, drawings and specifications on the designs submitted in the 1958 US Navy competition, that lead to the Lockheed P-3A Orion Anti-Submarine/Maritime Patrol Aircraft being declared winner? Regards Pioneer

As freaky as it is it's gotta be Russian ;) (The name probably says it all but any background on this?)

Fleet Air Defence Aircraft (FAD) Although this once banished to history project, has continued to resurrect itself from time to time, I thought I would flog this horse one more time. With the hope that I can get the information I so desperately sorted for many years. The 1957 US Navy submitted...

In 1957 the USAF put forward a Request for Proposal (RfP) to the aircraft industry for a Tactical Air Command Transport as a replacement for its large and venerable fleet of Fairchild C-82/C-119 Flying Boxcar, and Douglas C-47 Dakota. This competition would eventually be won by the Lockheed...

The Mohawk (OV-1) Society has an illustration, originally in their newsletter, of Grumman's COIN derivative of the Mohawk on their website, though it takes a spot of digging to find it. I did copy it and will be glad to share (I cake it we can't attach picture files directly here). It looks...
