Well no. It had to be published by CQ, and the date sounds about right.
But Wayned had left CQ at least 5 years before, and had been publishing
73 for 4 or 5 years by then.

Gordon White wrote the surplus column for CQ for many years in the sixties,
and published at least one standalone article on the Command Sets. I was
never sure whether the book was an anthology of his previous material, or
contained things written specifically for it.

I misread the original post. I thought he was looking for a book,
but it was just an article. The one he's talking about is a historical
article about the Command sets, rather than a technical or modification
article. The CQ book from 1957 is, from a description in the magazine
at the time, a collection of articles about modifying and making use
of the Command sets.

Nevertheless, while Wayne was editor of CQ in the fifties, he
wasn't by the time of the 1965 article. Kenneth Grayson was
the surplus editor for CQ at the time (he had a Porsche, and
was apparently the reason Wayne got one). By 1965, Gordon
White was the surplus editor.

It seems like Gordon White should have written a book about the Command
Sets, or at least collected his already published articles, but it
does not seem to have happened.
