I have come across some information on the proposed VC.4 three-engined transatlantic airliner project of 1949.
Information on the VC.4 was used to demonstrate aerodynamic drag issues in a Royal Aeronautical Society lecture by E. J. Edwards on 24 November 1949 entitled A Review of Aerodynamic...

In the US Carriers book, Friedman mentions that after the war, considerations had to be made in carrier designs for a "14-inch rocket", that did not progress far enough to enter service:
The only information on this rocket I could find comes from the Wikipedia article on the Tiny Tim:

I am doing research regarding Martin Marietta Single stage to Orbit vehicle. I have not found much information online and was wondering if anyone had any information.
All I have found is the NASA Contractor report.
Thank you
When the UK gave up carriers in the 60s the alternative was supposed to be a family of helicopter, ship and sub launched missiles. In the event while Wasp helicopters did get AS12s it took nearly a decade before Exocet equipped some destroyers and frigates. Sea Skua for Lynx did not arrive...
The Cold War in retrospect seems almost an oasis of reasonable behaviour. From 1945 to 1991 the US and Soviet Union only ratcheted up deliberately to threaten nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and the October 1973 Arab Israel war. There were other occasions (notably Able...
In late 1956-early 1957 the RAAF received Cabinet approval to acquire 30 F104A to equip a single sqn, this was announced publicly, but in mid 1957 this order (or approval) was cancelled and instead the RAAF ordered 40 Australian built CAC Avon Sabres. It is important to note that this order, if...
In the late 1970s Sandia explored the design of a maneuvering glide bomb, the Extended Range Bomb:

G'day folks, looking to identify and get information on the seat in the pic attached. I am guessing a Korean war vintage helicopter but it could be from anything of the time.
Is there anyuone who can identify it please?
Quick background:
I like building what-if scale model aircraft, especially cold-war timeframe and I have a collection of kits that I wanted to weave into a comprehensive story. To that end as a thought experiment I did a little alternative history. The timeline basically starts in the late 50s...
Good Day All -
From last week's visit to Gerry Balzer to pick up the remainder of his personal library and collection, we came across a sealed box of small rolled drawings out in the garage. Covered in dust and grime, sure glad it was sealed. This drawing was in the box and is a new design to...
In 1960 some 64 Canberra B2 & B6 in 4 sqns based in Britain and assigned to SACEUR were replaced by 24 Valiants in 3 sqns. Despite the significant decrease in numbers this was considered a net benefit because of the Valiant's all weather capabilities. By 1964 the RAF still had 9 sqns of Canberra...
