I came across this neat OSS briefing film referenced in the Wikipedia article on the M29 Weasel. The 10 minute video--worth the wait, I promise--includes some discussion of the various alternative approaches to travel across ice and snow that were evaluated as well as a lot of footage of the...

A pair of unbuilt Avro Canada projects from Canadian Aircraft Since 1909 by K.M. Molson (ISBN: 0370300955). First, a 1955 design for a four-engined bizjet with CF-100 overtones. [Edit: presumably the "Small High-Speed Jet Transport" mentioned in Jim Floyd's summary of Avro Canada feasibilty...

Some time ago in a website that in the meantime disappeared from the Internet I found several pictures of an armoured personnel carrier that had been designed (and built as a prototype) in Canada sometime in the 1950s. According to the website its designation was the XA-20. Unfortunately there...

(I wasn't sure if this should be included under the Horizon thread, as there were at least 8 projects between Type 42 and Type 45 in the UK alone, let alone any other nations, and Horizon was just one of those) (Note that the image is resized by the forum code and is actually 994 * 582...

In order to accelerate the intercontinental bomber project, a conference of high-ranking USAAF officers met on August 19, 1941 and decided to scale down their requirements. The maximum range requirement was reduced to 10,000 miles and the effective combat radius requirement was cut to 4000 miles...
