So, here's how I've been wasting virtually every free moment of my life since I discovered it on Wednesday:
http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/index.html
Every page of every issue of Flight International up through 2004, a British aerospace trade journal published weekly since 1909, available online for free. So much fascinating stuff, including tons of super-detailed cutaway drawings by Frank Munger, Mike Badrocke, John Marsden, and others. Even found an article from 1935 describing in-depth the building of the Hindenburg!
Speaking of cutaways, Frank Munger's take on the VC10 is probably the most detailed illustration of it's type I've ever seen. Enter "cut-away" and select 1962 as the year to search, and it should be one of the first items to come up.
