L.H. Leonard "Helicopter-Type Aircraft" VTOL Tailsitters (1939)

Just put up a new article at RetroMechanix.com on L.H. Leonard's unorthodox "Helicopter-Type Aircraft" VTOL tailsitters proposed to the US Navy & Army Air Corps in 1939:

It features 26 images, including an artist's impression, plans, and an engineering analysis. Possibly the strangest US fighter proposal I've come across in this period!

RetroMechanix.com was down yesterday due to some technical issues but is now back up and running; check out the L.H. Leonard article, when you get the chance.
