Darth has sent me this:
Hey Paul, attached are two pics from my Dyna-Soar book of something very similar
to what Wotan has been showing. One is an animated mock-up of a winged reentry
vehicle built by Martin and put on display at the New Worlds Fair in New York
in 1964. It looks to be half way between the X-20 and the X-24. Apparently it was
seen to fly back and forth docking with the cylindrical space station. The other
pic is a mock-up proposed by Goodyear for an inflatable re-entry vehicle. BTW did
you get the pics I sent to you several weeks ago of the Hover Moon car? It
looked exactly like a Sword toy. Regards, Rob
Cheers Rob. Hover Moon Car pics to be posted ASAP.
The World's Fair mockup was there for years after the Fair closed. I saw it with the Boy Scouts in 1970 or so.
