American Aerospace Archive 2: NA FJ-5 Fighter - Proposal for a Navalized F-107A

[overscan]

Greetings All,

As promised in my earlier post on the commercialized Martin Mars in the Early Aircraft Projects subforum, here is information on the second issue of the American Aerospace Archive covering the navalized derivative of the F-107A, the North American FJ-5: 

The NAA FJ-5 fighter proposal was prepared for the Bureau of Aeronautics on July 6, 1955.  With its dorsal inlet and sleek aerodynamics, the FJ-5 was among the more unusual and exciting naval fighter proposals of the 1950's.  This monograph covers the prototype, basic (production), supersonic reconnaissance, and rocket-boosted interceptor variants of the design.  It is illustrated with 5 wind tunnel model photos and 28 drawings, the majority of which are incredibly detailed and provide ample reference for those wishing to create an accurate model or illustration of this radical jet fighter.  The accompanying text is based on official North American reports submitted with the proposal and describes the type in exhaustive detail.  As with our earlier monograph on the Martin Mars , this 36 page publication is printed in brilliant full color on high quality 80 lb semi-gloss paper with saddle-stitched covers. 

For a full preview of the magazine, please visit MagCloud.  Domestic US customers should order the magazine directly through MagCloud; shipping is $1.40 per copy.  MagCloud does not yet ship outside the US (though it will do so in the near future); in the meantime, international customers may order the magazine through my website, aeroarchivepress.com.

As stated in my earlier post, I will be offline the next few days but will field any questions you may have next week. 

Best Regards,

Jared Zichek

Interesting, that's a very good match for the display model I've seen pictures of.  Definitely on my "must buy" list.
