Here's an excerpt from the NASA history series book entitled "A Historical Look at United States Launch Vehicles, 1967-Present", from 1997 by Anser.

This is a historical summary of the Titan program from its inception until 1997. It begins with brief discussing of Titan I and progresses through the various Titan variants starting with Titan II thru Titan IV. There are several resource drawings and graphics in the document, and many charts as well, all of which will be posted in this thread.

The following is a summary of the relevant text (almost all of it) from the document.

Enjoy! OL JR

Do you happen to know whether that book is still available or out of print?

Thanks for the information. It will come in handy for building some Titan vehicles in 1/35 scale.

Not sure... I picked up a .pdf copy of it somewhere along the line-- BUT it was ONLY that section... I'd LOVE to see the rest of the book!!!

If you will look at the lower right corner of that cover, an FOIC may be needed to get ahold of that document.
