? this one ?

[+Julhelm 266]

Yeah

[+Veltro2k 6,316]

Yeah

 

Hope I can find a better 3-view

[+Julhelm 266]

There is a whole chapter devoted to F-108 in American Secret Projects: Fighters & Interceptors 1945-1978

You'd do well to pick that up as well as the companion volume on bombers.

Thank you Jules. I hope I would be able to purchase a PDF version.

Also, another good reference is Valkyrie: North American's Mach 3 Superbomber...pretty much considered the definitive reference for the Valkyrie and F-108 (except for maybe the massively expensive and VERY rare VALKYRIE: THE NORTH AMERICAN XB-70: The USA's Ill-fated Supersonic Heavy Bomber).

 

I have Julhelm's book and the first book above, an article from Airpower that a friend of mine gave me, a 1/72 scale model, and the Standard Aircraft Characteristics page ( http://www.alternatewars.com/SAC/SAC.htm ) done by our own MKSheppard that I used as references. Plus whatever else I've found on the internet that was actually correct.

I find the Secret Projects books to be entertaining for the sheer volume of oddball designs featured in them. Once I get a fulltime job I'm going to order a truckload of new books.

Ordered the Hard Cover....Still wished it was in a PDF format

[+Veltro2k 6,316]

Heh.

 

That would actually a be a picture of my F-108A that I gave to TopGun over at the CivIII forums to use for his mods for CivIII.

 

No one get their panties in a bunch...Ed's Rapier is significantly different from mine. Just letting folks know there are two separate F-108s in development.
