I recall a couple of pictures of designs for VSTOL versions of the Grumman Mohawk (one with tilt wing and another(I think from Boeing) with a VSTOL swing wing design?
Was this in answer to a requirement in the US or were the aircraft simply speculative ventures in the early 60s. The Boeing design is typically 60s like a flattened Mohawk with wswing wings and blended jets.
The pictures were in a German bound volume that I had nicked in Charing Cross Road about ten years ago because I foolishly had it in a bag that looked like a laptop bag. Still I always like to imagine the look on some yob's face when he found himself looking at Flieger Stoff Bumpf instead of a Toshiba or whatever.
