Rewards for April, 2025 have been released. These include:

Document: “Performance Data Report for Class VF Convoy Fighter Airplane,” Convair report from 1950. 100 pages of data (no diagrams) on what would become the XFY-1 “Pogo.”

Document: “Hard Mobile Launcher” Martin Marietta brochure on the Midgetman launcher, with some bonus Martin Marietta HML info and art

Diagram: “Parallel Tanks Missile,” Convair diagram 7-26-54, apparently an alternate design for Atlas, much more like Soviet R-7 family. Reduced to 75% of original scanned size, which is immense and system-crashing.

CAD diagram: Lockheed B-2, a stealthier proposed follow-on to the U-2.

Subscribers/Patrons for the APR Monthly Historical Documents Program not only receive a monthly collection of aerospace goodies such as these, but can also pick up back issues all the way to 2014.

Feb 2025 rewards: slight delay

Perhaps as a surprise to nobody, I’m a little late on the February rewards:

1) The end of the short month snuck up on me

2) I’m at the VERY end of finishing up a project I’ve been working on for a year and a half

3) I was about halfway through processing a big report I planned on putting into the months catalog when it dawned on me… ‘hey, haven;t I already released this?” Ayup. A big waste of time. Gah.

Anyway, the rewards are all processed except for this months CAD diagram. Currently in works.

Norspiel

Now scanning: “Norspiel,” rules book for a wargame created at Northrop Aircraft in 1957. Not the usual sort of thing I go after, but it seems interesting. I wasn’t able to find anything online about it other than the ebay listing, so it may be new to the wargaming world. I’m not a wargamer (not since about 1987), so I’m no expert, but it seems a lot simpler than, say, Dungeons and Dragons or Warhammer 40K.

This will be added to the next APR Patreon/subscriber catalog to be voted on for a monthly reward. If this sort of thing is of interest, please check out:
