I complete it,hope that's useful for my dear Tony,I know he is the first among the experts all over the world in projects,but as I said,it's small remind.

Of course the date is from 1945 to 1978,also there is another
fighter project,maybe from Retro Machanix,but I don't remember it now,
any corrections or additions are welcome.
 
Hello Hesham. Many thanks for your post, and for your kind comments. I'm afraid it is very difficult to answer fully, but I hope the following will be helpful.

The revision of American Secret Projects: Jet Fighters, which I hope to start later this year, will be affected by my earlier book "Early US Jet Fighters". This in fact was published before we decided to revamp any of the British and American titles, so to prevent duplication ASP will probably start at 1950, rather than 1945. However, projects produced after 1948 (and before approx 1975-80) should be referred to in the Project listing at the back.

As regards your list of projects. Quite a number already appear in "Early US Jet Fighters" and so will not be in the new ASP.

More specifically, as regards for example the North American series. Again, I would refer to them only in the project list at the back but, unless any of the designs can be found at the US National archives, I know of no specific North American archive.

Same for the Northrop listing. However, here, if any of these projects are available then they will be in Tony Chong's superb "Flying Wings and Radical Things". Tony has kindly supplied me with one or two specific drawings. If you do not have it, you must get that book.

As far as I know the Republic archive was totally destroyed - what are the AP-30 and AP-37 please - I have no record of these?

Many thanks again. Very best wishes, Tony.
