I know that we have:

US Standard Atmosphere (1958, 1962, 1966, 1976)
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) (1975)
ICAO Standard Atmosphere (1993)

But what about the WWII era atmospheres?

Basically, during WWII:

US, UK and USSR both used (about) 59°F @ Sea Level for their calculations

According to the note at the page, the Germans used 10°C (50°F) up to 60m with atmospheric density of 1.22 kg/m3.

Has anyone ever found copies of the WW2 era atmospheric tables used for calculations?
