I’ve been working with Justo Miranda to make his Dossiers available online as downloadable PDF files. Things are ready to go… nine of his dossiers are available for purchase right now, with the rest to come along soon (it takes a while to scan & prepare these publications, since I’m shooting for high quality). They are available for purchase via PayPal, and are currently *half* the price of the original paper editions. Soon the whole publication catalog will be available for purchase via Paypal, downloadable directly to your computer.
Previously difficult to come by, the “Reichdreams Dossiers” cover aspects of the designs of WWII German and Allied advanced aircraft and weapons projects, presenting them with high-quality diagrams, masterpieces of the draftsmans art. All issues are scanned at 300dpi, full-color or grayscale where appropriate, with images cleaned and color corrected for highest quality. Check back regularly – or request to be put on the e-mailing list – for updates.As of April 9, 2009, Dossiers # 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 20 are available.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I seem to have trouble displaying the pages in Foxit PDF Reader, some of the words and pictures are distorted, is this a common problem?
> I seem to have trouble displaying the pages in Foxit PDF Reader,
I’ve never heard of “Foxit.” I’d recommend getting the “Adobe Reader,” this is produced by the same company that makes Adobe Acrobat, the program used to create the files. Adobe is pretty much the standard for PDF (since, I believe, they invented it). It’s a sizable download (41 meg), but it’s free.

The Dossiers are scanned at 300 DPI, which may be a bit much for a small reader like Foxit. Dunno. Yours is the first issue I’ve heard of anyone having trouble with any of the files.
It does display properly in Adobe Acrobat Reader, however Foxit is the usual PDF reader I use since it has a much faster start time. Also, when I look at the file in Adobe Reader in has the word “SECURED” after the title. Foxit has worked on the other PDFs that I have downloaded from you.

Again, you got me. It doesn’t do that on *mine.* The RD PDFs are created on the same system and in the same way as the other PDFs I produce (excpet for the APR issues, which are converted straight from the original Word documents)
