Acknowledgements:

There are many people who helped make my Aerobee 350 drawings possible by assisting me in my research; many thanks to:

Peter Alway for providing detailed Aerobee 350 prototype information (Sounding Rocket Technology Conference article, 1976), as well as for giving an educated second opinion on tough questions;
Glen Avalear for an Aerobee 350 Configuration Drawing, photocopies of another Aerobee round, Aerobee 350 launch data, and a detailed Aerobee 170 drawing;
Bob Biedron for providing Nike M5 data, access to his scale data archives, including the original Aerobee 350 article in Model Rocketeer, for spending four hours on a Saturday helping me proofread the drawings for the 1st NARTS update, and for offering his invaluable opinion on questionable data;
Pete Covell for providing a photocopy of the Aerobee 350 Model Rocketeer article;
Connie Moore of NASA Headquarters for providing NASA photo 68-HC-29;
Bill Spadafora [formerly of NARTS] for providing helpful Outline and Configuration Drawings and hi-resolution scans of all 8 NASA photos;
Taras Tataryn for providing the Aerobee 350 brochure booklet;
Jessica Tschirhart, my wife, for her assistance in sorting through particularly ambiguous information and for putting up with my work on these drawings;
Dan Wheeler, for accompanying me on my trip to the Paul E. Garber Facility to see a real Aerobee 350; and
Frank Winter, a National Air and Space Museum curator, for granting me access to the 350 at Garber and spending the day as "chaperone".
