Given the discussion earlier from Ray Dunakin and Bob Kaplow, if you go to:
and ensure that you spell the name correctly or it will not work properly
and you put in some date delimiters (e.g. during the year 2003 or during the year 2002)
you will see the type of material I have been writing, resources to get the information that you already pay for with your taxes.
It's not about any specific company, it is viewing rocketry through the tinted lenses of the folks at BATF.
Michael Ravnitzky
For example, here are some interesting films I found at the Defense Department:
SOME INTERESTING DEFENSE DEPARTMENT FILMS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST PART I - INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATION by Michael Ravnitzky, snipped-for-privacy@ix.netcom.com
Recently I received a large partial inventory list of thousands of Defense Department motion picture films and videotapes. I have selected a tiny sampling of these films that seem interesting for some reason or other, or have remained classified for years despite evidence of some public interest in their contents. This is just a personal selection; please keep that in mind. There are thousands and thousands other films out there waiting to be viewed.
The source of these film titles and catalogue numbers are the film transfer lists and proposed transfer inventories held by the National Archives and DVIC.
Forthcoming lists of films in various subject areas will contain the addresses at the bottom rather than at the top.
Most of these films are either restricted in distribution or are still marked as classified, either confidential or secret, as noted. However, most of these films have not been reviewed for declassification or public release in many years, or even decades. You can request a copy of any of these films by writing to the following two addresses and requesting a copy of the film under the Freedom of Information Act. All of these films will be available and under the authority of one or both of the following two addresses.
The first address is the Department of Defense [DoD] FOIA Office. Note: in your request letter to DoD, you may wish to mention that these films are or were under the responsibility of the Defense Visual Information Center, DVIC, but that FOIA requests to DVIC are processed by the DoD FOIA Office.
WARNING: The DoD FOIA Office does not like to process requests for audio-visual materials such as motion picture films, because they are much more troublesome than requests for paper records. Nor do they have a very good track record in regard to processing such requests. Just keep careful track of your requests, and send in an inquiry if an excessive amount of time has gone by. You may need to send an appeal letter if too much time goes by.
The second address is the National Archives office that has accessioned some of these films--it is not entirely clear which films were accessioned and which remain at DoD. One or both of these offices have all of these films.

Some Interesting DoD Films, Part 15: Miscellaneous Interesting Films compiled by Michael Ravnitzky, snipped-for-privacy@ix.netcom.com ======================================== This is an assortment of unusual or otherwise interesting films that I have located. Some are interesting simply because they remain classified even after many years. Others, while not classified, remain restricted and off limits to the public for no discernable reason. Please note that this is only a very very tiny percentage of all of the films that are available. Although I will soon post instructions on how to obtain complete film lists, please note that the full lists are extremely awkward to use for a number of reasons.
