For my upcoming book on the JFK assassination, I need a diagram of the single-bullet
theory showing the tumbling bullet. My book is a non-conspiracy book - I just need
a diagram that I can legally use. Of course, I will give credit where it is due.

There are many diagrams, for example:
http://jfk-archives.blogspot.com/2010/09/vince-bugliosi-dale-myers-and-sbt.htmlhttp://frankwarner.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cd3769e201538ece10d9970b-pihttp://www.jfk-online.com/jfk100sbth.htmlBut be careful with these. They are misleading.
For example in the second link above, the bullet path shown is 7.6 degrees to the path of car. The actual angle at z221 is 9.3 degrees. As it is, this path shows the bullet going right through Gov. Connally's chest. The bullet never penetrated the lung. It actually followed along the outside of the fifth rib from the point where it struck in the right armpit to a point 10 cm from the end of the rib. It then shattered the last 10 cm of rib and send shards into the lower right lung.
In the first link, the diagram shows JFK so far to the passenger side of the car that his rib cage appears to be outside the passenger compartment. It also shows the bullet going right through the right lung.
The Governor's seating position should be consistent with a tall person sitting on a jump seat mounted on the floor. The knees would necessarily have been raised and apart (try it yourself if you are a male) so his left leg would not be on the right side.
The trajectory from the right wrist to the left thigh is a problem because it requires the bullet striking and fracturing the right radius and passing between the radius and ulna through the wrist. To do this, the back of the wrist would have to be facing the chest.
