Attempted to determine Hahneman's height from the pic..

The car he is next to is a late 60's Volvo 144, matched the angle to a full image of the same model to get the full roofline.

The Volvo model 144 is 56.7 inches in height.. using measurements and ratio's to compare Hahneman to the Volvo, he is about 6' tall. This isn't 100% accurate but puts him within Cooper's height range..

Flyjack, what is your source for claiming that "Bendix made many rockets" for helicopters in the mid 1960s?

As I remember it, Bendix was primarily an electronic supplier and I doubt if they had anything to do with making the rockets themselves.

Is there anyone on Shutter's site that is a current subscriber to Aviation Week / Space Technology magazine?

I was a subscriber to Aviation Week for 55+ years but cancelled my subscription last year.  Current subscribers have access to the Aviation Week archives and I am interested in something that was published by them in the 1963-1965 time frame.

This is related to the Cooper matter.
