Referring to personal reaction motor packs, who knows the best

Have all "successful" rocket packs employed H2O2 monopropellant?
If we're willing to consider reaction motor packs (a very broad
category) rather than just rocket packs, I recall a Popular Mechanics
(?) article written circa 1970 to the effect that peroxide units had
generally been superseded by jet turbines. I have on my hard drive a
relevant Bell Aerosystems report entitled "Individual Lift Device" dated
15 October 1967. Apparently I downloaded it from www.blackvault.com,
though it might be on DTIC.
