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! -Jared

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.
