Peter also had a number of data sets published in HUVARS "T-Minus 5" newsletter and in Sport Rocketry.

T-Minus 5 newsletters can be found here.

In addition, Peter produced some individual data set packages.

If you know of others please post them here.
If you know the rockets included in the data sets please post them here.

Thanks for the help with the dates for some of the booklets.

Yes, Gus, thanks for posting this.

Any way you can get Peter to chime in here and denote which of these publications are still available from him? I understand some are out of print now...or at least that's what I've heard. Maybe Peter can clarify which ARE still available and the best way to obtain them. I'd be interested in that V2 painting guide in particular.

Thanks again!

Earl

I knew he released a lot of information but I had no idea it was so vast. Thanks for posting the list.

Peter is selective in his publishing methods but I hope he picks a print on demand service for his next releases. That way they never have to go out of print.

I bought a copy of the V2 modeler's painting guide from him at NARAM in Muncie last year (he even signed it for me!) The guide is indispensable.

Ahh, thanks for the info! A purchase that relatively recent would probably indicate it is still in print, hopefully!

I did the same at NSL in Geneseo in 2017. Nice reunion. I had met Peter about 20 years earlier, and have a signed copy of The Art of Scale Model Rocketry. I should have taken my Rockets of the World to have him sign, but I didn’t know he would be there.

Earl.

Hopefully, Peter can provide an update on the status of the 5th Edition of ROTW. The 4th Edition is long out of print and no suppliers, including the NAR, have any copies left.

Naturally, the "scalpers" online have a few copies available, at exorbitant prices.

There's the scalpers, and then there are the guys who justify to themselves that posting scans of Peter's work all over the internet is OK. Peter is not updating the status of the 5th edition fast enough for them.
