Postwar VTOL Designs by Gerald P. Herrick

To my horror (ok, today is Halloween, so it's probably quite appropriate !) I noticed, that this thread about
Gerald Post Herrick actually was started with some pictures from a book and just the only real Herrick design
wasn't posted (see attached file from the link)! This old thread can (provisionally) be found here now
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10301.msg96727.html#msg96727
and postwar Herrick designs can be posted here. Typical for all Herrick designs was the stoppable wing.
A photo of a windtunnel model of the HC-6D is atached, too, the HC-6C would have been identical, with the exception
of being without tip rotorjets.

Great find my dear Jemiba (about the last picture).
 
Beautiful picture of the HC-6, Jens. Thanks!

My understanding was that the article from which the first picture was taken was showing other projects that also came from Herrick's house of ideas...
