It features three interesting configuration drawings, one of which looks like the mutant offspring of Vincent Burnelli and Charles Zimmerman.

Also recently posted was an article on the Douglas Model 1209 High Speed Composite Bomber of 1950, a possible GEBO study:

It features one large blueprint of a sleek, supersonic bird that looks like it's doing Mach 3 standing still.

There are many more interesting articles planned in the coming weeks, so please check the site frequently; you'll undoubtedly see something that you've never seen before, as the majority of the material is based on original documents found in the US National Archives and is previously unpublished.
