CONTENTS
55 ARAVA Israel's home aircraft industry plays an increasingly important part in supporting the nation's economy and its defence. In addition to overhaul, modification and licence-production programmes, it is now producing in quantity its first indigenous design, described here by Irvine Cohen.
64 A NEW VERTICAL APPROACH
Captain Gerald O'Rourke, Director, Navy Fighter Study, in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, describes the philosophy and operating characteristics of the forthcoming Rockwell XFV-12A V/STOL prototypes with thrust-augmented wings.
69 DUTCH DIGRESSION One of the
most interesting applications of "centre line thrust" in a fighter was its use in the Fokker D XXIII prototype. Fokker's former chief designer, Ir M Beeling, relates the story of its concept and flight testing, and the contemporary and equally unorthodox De Schelde S.21 is also described.
79 BOMBS BY BALLOON One of the
least-known operations of World War II was the Japanese attempt to bomb the US mainland by balloons that were launched in Japan and left to float across the Pacific. The story is told in detail for the first time by Robert C Mikesh.
