The missing issues at the end, CL 203, 205, 206, and 207, almost certainly do not exist. We have been unable to find any copies of them via WorldCat, Google, Abebooks, bookfinder.com, or an Airmont collector's site. It is not uncommon for series, near the end of their lives, to have various editions planned, and numbers assigned, but to not have those issues come to completion.
Airmont also published a Science Fiction series. These consisted of paperback editions of hard cover SF books published by Avalon press (which owned Airmont). The known titles in this series are:
- SF1 The Memory Bank, by Wallace West
- SF2 Tower of Zanid, by L. Sprague de Camp
- SF3 Lords of Atlantis, by Wallace West
- SF4 Invaders from Rigel, by Fletcher Pratt
- SF5 Day of the Giants, by Lester del Rey
- SF6 Hidden World, by Stanton A. Coblentz
- SF7 Conquest of Earth, by Manly Banister
- SF8 The Duplicated Man, by James Blish and Robert Lowndes
Covers of many of the books that we do not have in the ISFDB are available at BookScans.
Other series by Airmont, without speculative content, include:
- A "teen romance" series, indicated by "C", e.g. "C6" instead of "CL6". As such, these books are sometimes confused with the Airmont Classics.
- A regular romance series, with known titles from R1 to R35.
- A mystery series, with titles known from M1 to M6.
- A nurse series (?), with one known title: "Clinic Nurse", N10.
- A western series, with titles known from W1 through W11.
