I did know Bob Del Principe, but don't know what part he played in the design of the Fighter Fleet.
At NARAM 60 I asked Betty Piester for Bob's phone number but never heard back. I would have loved to send him my Odd'l Rockets versions of those kits.

I do know Bob worked on the Space 1999 model. He called it the "Flying Clorox bottle".
