T. B. Pawlicki's _How To Build a Flying Saucer_ is mentioned in 
Donna Kossy's book _Kooks: A Guide to the Outer Limits of Human Belief_.
(p.65, _Anti-Gravity: Freedom From Physics_).  It is mentioned as a 
seriously-intended treatise on the subject of anti-gravity, and the
author's identity is not commented on.  (It is also mentioned that 
according to Pawlicki, the designer of the Japanese "Bullet Train"
almost created a practical anti-gravity device.)

All in all, _Kooks_ is an excellent reference on these subjects and
others, and is well worth getting if you don't already have a copy.
