Flying Lady Technical Articles
The RROC Flying Lady is published six times per year. Each two month period is assigned a sequential number, so 01=Jan/Feb, 02=Mar/April, 03=May/June, 04=July/Aug, 05=Sept/Oct, 06=Nov/Dec. Articles are referenced by two digit year/two month number/page, so 52-03_15 is 1952 May/June/pg 15.
To see an article, click on the relevant page number in the right hand column.
Note that a Page number marked with an * is not digitally available. You’ll have to find old hard copies.
