Hello, good afternoon. This is my third post. Thank you for reading.

This is a photo of vintage American and Russian futuristic magazines from my home library today 02/09/2022. There are 240 American magazines from 1956 to 1994 in my library, 30 Russian magazines from 1968 to 1976.

On our forum, users post about many vintage designs from unique old magazines, but they don't provide authentic photos of those magazines. Authentic photo taken by the authors of the posts in their personal libraries. Unfortunately, such paper libraries are now exclusively for old people from 70 to 85. These magazines were presented to me by specialists - scientists from optimized and closed libraries.

Photo 1. Russian magazines Technique for Youth. Top 1970-1974. Below 1968 and 1969. Giant B-12 helicopter. Project Space Shuttle Star Clipper in the Russian interpretation of 1973. Soviet ekranoplan student model 1974. Hovercrafts and submarine tanker plus floating city project 1968-69. These projects are known on the Internet. But here they are on authentic magazines.

Photo 2. American magazines 1958-1974. Above are the designs of the great artist and designer Robert McCall. Below is a unique 1958 magazine with early designs for orbital and interplanetary spacecraft. Attention: these are US government magazines in two languages - in English and Russian. This is not Life magazine. An interesting point: in 1958, the space shuttle was called Orbital Tender, and the nuclear space station was called Snupper.

Russian magazines are printed on plain offset paper: in 1968-69 they are black and white with color inserts, in 1970-76 they are colored, but the paper is plain. All American magazines in my collection are on glossy paper, huge format, but some of the illustrations are in black and white, some are in color.

Thanks for sharing, that magazines are awesome. I still have few old magazines with me. The older ones found on second hand markets, the most modern starting from my teens. Many more had been destroyed to scan it because I had no room for it. Scans from those magazines are already shared in this forum.

Is that a submarine used for whaling? However I do not understand the utility considering whales often surface to breathe and their entire habitat can be accessed via boats that are more energy efficient and less expensive. If anything, an ekranoplan sounds like a better idea than a submarine for the task: faster, and indetectible to cetaceans. If possible, can that picture and the one with the different types of air cushion transportation be scanned in a more large type?
