The June rewards were sent out July 1. If you are a subscriber or Patron, you *should* have received an email with links/passwords. Purely by chance, all of the Documents this time came from periodicals. This, so far as I can recall, hasn’t happened before in the last 12 years. Rewards this month include: Diagram:…

April 2026 rewards have been sent to patrons/subscribers. A bit of a delay (again…). This time there were ZERO votes for the catalog items, so I selected them myself. I suspect that ONCE AGAIN something went screwy with the catalog announcements. Which is odd, since there are two wholly unrelated messaging systems. Sigh. So I…

General Dynamics artwork from the 80’s depicting a Trans Atmospheric Vehicle launching from the back of a 747. The original lithograph suffered badly from decades of reddening; I used an “AI photo editor” to correct it. Sadly, the editor spat out a smaller version of the image. I used “PhotoEditorAI;” it says it supports high-rez…

Ryan art of a Counter Insurgency (COIN) concept from the 1960s. This aircraft is somewhat similar to the OV-10 Bronco but with the important distinction of having a rotor for VTOL capability. For forward flight the 3-bladed rotor would largely stow within a large saucer-shaped rotor hub to decrease drag. Unfortunately, this is all I…

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…
