Here's a study from 1968 that's pretty interesting... the Saturn V Flight Manual. It's written as a pilot's flight manual for the astronauts to familiarize them with the Saturn V. At about 254 pages, it's a pretty long read, but there's TONS of good information in there. Here's a brief description of the high points and the graphics that would be of particular interest to modelers and Saturn V history buffs. Most of the rest of the information is far more arcane...
I especially enjoyed reading about the tanking and chilldown of the stages-- they must've had some MASSIVE pumps to create the fuelling rates they had during fast fill, and for THREE STAGES at once!
Enjoy! OL JR
