There are bunch of variants of this circuit, I call it the "Forest Mims Oscillator" cuz in one of his radio shack circuit books was where I first remember seeing it as a teenager.
I'm pretty sure he didn't invent it though and that I've seen it in books from the 60s also, it was probably invented about 5 minutes after the PNP.
