Items related to Flying Saucer Aircraft: Secret Projects
Synopsis
Amidst fevered speculation about flying saucers as the favoured transport of extra-terrestrial visitors to our planet, it is an established fact that a variety of experimental aircraft designs have been made in different countries that could be described as being similar to flying saucers or flying wings. This is a serious factual study of twenty such projects including the pre-war Vought V-173 Pancake and Boeing B390, and the post-war secret projects from Avro-Canada, the Lockheed Skunk Works, North American and NASA.

About the Author
Bill Rose was born in 1948 and grew up in the North London suburbs. He was educated at Buckingham College and the University of Westminster. Bill began his working life as a laboratory technician, became a Fleet Street press photographer and eventually a photojournalist. As a writer, he has worked for many of the well-known science journals, a number of technical publications and various national and provincial newspapers. His principle areas of interest are photography, astronomy, space exploration and aviation. Bill has also undertaken background research for several UK based TV production companies. He runs a small photographic business located in Norfolk, which specializes in PR work, graphic design and image restoration and resides in Cambridgeshire, England.
Tony Buttler was born in 1956, educated at Prince Henry's Grammar School, Evesham, and joined High Duty Alloys Ltd. Redditch in 1974, where he spent 19 years as a metallurgist testing titanium and aluminum forgings for the aircraft and defense industries. A growing interest in archives and historical records saw him take a master's degree in Library and Information Science at Loughborough University before becoming a full-time aviation historian. Since 1995 he has had numerous articles published by most of the major aviation journals and has written several of the well-known Warpaint series. Tony has always lived in the Vale of Evesham, near the Cotswold Hills, an area which sees a remarkable variety of aircraft pass through its airspace.
