	Clavius: Bibliography - thomas baron
		NAA charged that NASA demanded far too many changes in the design without giving NAA time to accommodate them, and unsafely operated the spacecraft with a high-pressure oxygen environment, and that the flammable items had been demanded by NASA's astronauts and therefore could not be easily refused.
		All agree that North American was in the process of addressing Baron's few credible allegations with changes to their procedures when the Apollo 1 fire took place.
		NAA was able to substantiate that it had acted on the valid points of Baron's first report with due diligence, and was doing so when the Apollo 1 tragedy occurred.

		North American won the contracts for both the second stage booster (S-2) designed by von Braun's Marshall Space Center team, and for the Apollo Command module, the actual capsule that would carry the astronauts to the moon.
		California representatives were also anxious to support North American's bid, given the state's dominance in the aerospace industry; Representative George Miller (D-CA) assumed the chairmanship of the House Space Committee after Overton Brooks died in 1961, and was not remiss in his support of North American's Downey, California plant.
		North American used dozens of subcontractors for specific sub-systems of the Apollo Command module, including Honeywell, Northrop, and Lockheed, and attracted literally thousands of engineers and scientists from aerospace corporations and universities to assist in the effort.

	North American Aviation / Rockwell: The Ejection Site
		North American Aviation (NAA) is more famous for some of their aircraft, but they also produced some of the more interesting egress systems.
		From the mid-1950s thru the 1970s, NAA or North American Rockwell, was continuously involved in ejection seat design.
		The X-15 space research vehicle utilized a NAA seat which was rated up to Mach 4 and 120,000 feet.

	Who Made the Mustang?
		Edgar Schmued, still a junior figure at North American, played a minor part in the design of its bomb racks; later that year, however, he was project engineer on a handsome but abortive two-seat tandem primary trainer, the NA-35.
		North American was exceptional those days in the degree of cooperation between departments, a state of affairs that was due in part to the personality of Ed Schmued and in part to the presence of a first-rate technical man, Atwood, in top management.
		North American's heyday began with the AT-6 and continued beyond the Mustang: The next great American fighter was another NAA product, the F-86 Sabre.

	North American NA-73
		North American had already been building NA-16 trainers, and the British ordered a number of them for the RAF as the Harvard.
		Kindelberger responded that NAA could do that if it were really required, but countered that he and his company could build a better fighter than the P-40 and that they could design a REAL fighter in the same time that it would take to put the P-40 into production.
		NAA had actually been quietly working on such a fighter project since the summer of 1939, and by that date they had actually already completed much of the detail design.

	Chariots For Apollo, ch2-5
		North American's pertinent experience consisting of the X-15, Navajo, and Hound Dog coupled with an outstanding performance in the development of manned aircraft (F-100 and F-86) resulted in it[s] being the highest rated in this area.
		The Source Evaluation Board is convinced that NAA is well qualified to carry out the assignment of Apollo prime contractor and that the shortcomings in its proposal could be rectified through further design effort on their part.
		North American submitted a low cost estimate which, however, contained a number of discrepancies.

	The North American B-25 Mitchell
		NAA proposed to sell a batch of Dragons to the USAAC, but the price was still too high.
		The US had only a few precious carriers to counter Japanese naval thrusts, and the Japanese would be delighted if the Americans were so foolish as to bring their carriers close to Japan, where they would certainly be sunk by superior Japanese air and naval power.
		NAA converted another B-25 as a company transport after the loss of the WHISKEY EXPRESS, but this aircraft was lost with three crew off the California coast not long after the war.

	001 -- Flight of the Valkyrie
		North American engineers pored through every aerodynamic study they could find, looking for anything that could be applied to a large, triplesonic bomber.
		Two pilots from North American were chosen to fly the B-70 during the development phase.
		Returning to North American's Palmdale facility at the end of this flight, the XB-70 was scheduled to go through a series of structural tests that would not return her to the flight line until February of 1965.

	North American Aviation History, Dutch Kindelberger, Lee Atwood
		On Dec. 6, 1928, North American Aviation was incorporated in Delaware to become a holding company for many of these new ventures.
		Therefore, North American's airline interests were separated from its airplane-building concerns, and 39-year-old James Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger became President and General Manager of General Aviation, leaving a career as vice president of engineering at Douglas Aircraft.
		North American's first contract for a basic combat-type airplane came in 1937 with completion of the BC-1, a derivative of the NA-16.

	Aviation and Space Arcade Cards from Exhibit Supply
		Instead, I went for the cards which featured aircraft--most of which had first appeared in the 1950s and were already outdated, but which were largely still new and exotic to me. Somehow most of my little collection survived the years, and I'm now working on completing my sets.
		Two 64-card aviation sets were produced by Exhibit Supply Co. of Chicago.
		The earlier bears the notice "Printed in U.S.A." on the front; the later bears "Made in U.S.A." Otherwise, the sets are indistinguishable, with blank backs and one or two lines of identifying caption on the face.

	Coleman Engineering Co. v. North American Aviation, Inc. (1966) 65 C2d 396
		He said their stress people had been figuring that the CG was located at rail height and having seen the missile, he knew intuitively that it was not at rail height--that it was some distance above this, and he requested us to determine or give him the figure of what it should be.
		North American was fully aware, before July 15, that Coleman had bid on the basis of a payload center of gravity at rail height and that Coleman's position was that changes would be required in cost and price terms and in the time schedule.
		FN 1 The original invitation to bid sent to Coleman by North American stated "If you are the successful bidder, you will be offered a purchase order.

	North American F-86D Sabre
		North American company officials explained that the reason for the designation change was that separate appropriations must be made by Congress to allocate funds for "new" types of aircraft, but "developments" of existing types come under another budget category, making the F-86D a much easier "sell" to Congress than the F-95A.
		During the early 1950s, North American Aviation was turning out F-86Ds at a faster rate than they could be supplied with engine controls and electronic equipment.
		One by one, as their periodic maintenance became due, these early-block F-86Ds were taken out of service, returned to maintenance depots or to the North American factory, and subjected to upgrades such as the installation of current electronics or the provision of braking parachutes.

	North American P-51D
		The P-40 was the only American land-based fighter available at the time but it was also seriously deficient in speed, range, and altitude performance.
		North American declined to build it but proposed a completely original design and promised to finish it in less than three months.
		he North American P-51D Mustang is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in the World War II Aviation exhibition.

	North American FJ-1 Fury
		But the Navy realized that a true jet fighter had to be developed for carrier use if naval aviation was to remain an important part of America's military in the post World War II era.
		The second was made to North American Aviation for the XFJ-1, known as model NA-134 at North American.
		This was known as NA-140 at North American, and it was reviewed by the Navy.

	North American P-51 Mustang - USA
		In April 1940, the British Air Purchasing Commission approached North American Aviation with the intent of having them build P-40's for the RAF.
		In the meantime, North American had undertaken a similar conversion project and was building two Packard Merlin-powered Mustangs.
		American Mustangs destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft in Europe to make them the highest scoring US fighter in the theater.

	P-51 Mustang
		The ubiquitous North American P-51 Mustang, which many consider to be the best all-around fighter of WW II, owes its origins to the British Air Ministry.
		North American chose to propose its own fighter design which would use the same Allison engine as the P-40.
		Intrigued with the possibility of using this aircraft also as a dive bomber, North American proposed this to the USAAF which decided to order 500 of the P-51 aircraft to be modified for dive bombing use.

		Kindleberger's reply, however, was that NAA could have a better aircraft with the same engine in the air in less time.
		In 1943, North American submitted a proposal to do the re-design as model NA-105, which was accepted by the A.A.F. The designation XP-51F was assigned for prototypes powered with V-1650 engines and XP-51G to those with reverse lend/lease Merlin 145M engines.
