Description

Following the success of Secret Projects: Flying Saucer Aircraft, Bill Rose presents an entirely new book based on the same theme. Rose generates a fresh and renewed interest in the subject whilst drawing upon the same research as in the hugely popular Secret Projects book. This volume will see updated and unseen illustrations and expands on existing detail, taking onboard all the useful input and advice received since FSA was published. This new and fully refreshed title has more emphasis on civil programmes and expand further into the general world of UFOs (such as the 1952 Washington Sightings - linked to Navy jets and radar problems/weather anomalies, Foo Fighter and Cold War defence issues. Expanded topics in the new book will include pre-war aircraft such as the Lee-Richards circular design, Arup and Canova aircraft. Other new material will deal with Zimmerman's Pancake, space projects and unusual propulsion systems like the ionic system developed by Alexander de Seversky. Completely new material will include work by the French designer Payen, the 1930s German Trenn flying platform, the Geobat flying saucer, circular shaped spacecraft and re-entry vehicles. Including new and exciting information on the Boeing Flapjack design, with first hand accounts regarding designs of the British Rail Flying Saucer and new research in this field, the author packs this title full to the brim with invaluable information and imaged. The book will start with an introduction outlining the subject, followed by five or six descriptive chapters, presented in chronological order, giving the Aviation enthusiast every detail they will need to know on the subject. .
