Horizontal Vee Beams

I have been searching for information on the horizontal vee beam
antennas.

I am looking for information on the real ones that are more than 1/2
wave, not a hamstick dipole bent forward and claiming to have 3-6 db
gain over a dipole.

Thank you

See Ed Laport's "Radio Antenna Engineering", section 3.22, page 311
and following, for a basic writeup. Following sections discuss
rhombics, fishbones, and inverted-V travelling wave antennas.
