I have written a book with Don Wetzel, the person who designed and "flew" the M-497. Don and I are currently seeking a publisher. It will be sold as a DVD rather than in print medium. This is to everyone's benefit except for those few persons that don't have DVD capabilities, yet. The book will be a PDF file. In addition, the NYC movie about the M-497 experiment will be on the disk as well as copies of the two huge, phonebook-sized, engineering reports containing all the data gleaned from the experiment. This is stuff that has never been published--anywhere! The disk will, of course, contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader for those few people that haven't already downloaded this free piece of software. We hope that a PowerPoint presentation will probably also be included. Produced by another gentleman, I haven't yet received his permission to use the PowerPoint presentation. Should we receive his blessing, we'll also provide a PowerPoint reader on the disk for those individuals that don't have any other way to view it. So, the disk will be complete, in itself. The movie format will be usable on any Mac or PC (and your DVD player, of course) and the PDF format ensures the compatibility on Mac or PC as well. The only question might be the PowerPoint on a Mac. If the person has the Mac version of Microsoft's Office suite containing the PowerPoint software, then, again, compatibility will not be an issue. Two rejections, so far. A third organization has expressed interest, but has not committed to publishing, as of today. This could still go either way. Therefore, I can't honestly provide availability information. We have made every effort to obtain, and get permission to use, a large library of photographs that have never been published, anywhere. Photos of the construction phase. Shots inside the M-497. The original styling/design and the engineering drawings from the NYC are just some of the things we'll have. If there's room on the DVD, I hope to have videos of the plaque dedication, too.
