ROHR 2-175 Ducted prop aircraft

[Blackhawk]

I would like to find a copy of the book by Richard Fraser called "Rohr 2-175 (71-X) Fan Jet" A Tribute.

 

This book is out of print and if anyone has a copy they would like to sell please let me know.

 

Pics of plane and book

 

Cheers,

Thanks Kasper, I've looked there and they say it's out of stock, but I think I've found one in the UK.

Looks like an aircraft in the Holbrook air museum, it was an open prop then a ducted fan. Much smaller than the ROHR 2 .

 

The names on the tip of my tongue but stuck on "Leare".

Nope. Never was open prop always ducted fan. Direct drive Koenig 3 cyl driving an aircon fan ( as per hovercraft usage).

The one in the museum is the original and flew quite well and Charles was killed in the second production prototype (quite a few aerodynamic changes and bigger) on its first flight.
