Greetings Card : The NACA Test Force
Cards from Space Images
The NACA Test Force
The fleet of NACA test aircraft are assembled in front of the hangar at the High Speed Flight Station, (later renamed the Dryden Flight Research Center) in Edwards, California. The white aircraft in the foreground is a Douglas Aircraft D-558-2 Skyrocket. To its left and right are North American F-86 Sabre chase aircraft. Directly behind the D-558-2 is the P2B-1 Superfortress, (the Navy version of the Air Force B-29). Also known as the " mothership, " the P2B-1 carried aloft the D-558-2 Skyrocket under its fuselage. Once reaching altitude, the D-558-2 was released from the " mothership" after which the pilot ignited its onboard rocket engine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive fleet of NACA test aircraft assembled in front of the hangar at the High Speed Flight Station, later known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, located in Edwards, California. Dominating the foreground is a sleek white Douglas Aircraft D-558-2 Skyrocket, flanked by two North American F-86 Sabre chase aircraft. Behind them stands the mighty P2B-1 Superfortress, affectionately referred to as the "mothership" due to its crucial role in carrying aloft and releasing the D-558-2 Skyrocket. The P2B-1 Superfortress served as a vital support system for this groundbreaking research endeavor. Once reaching altitude, it would release its payload - the D-558-2 Skyrocket - which was then propelled forward by its onboard rocket engine. This innovative method allowed scientists and pilots to explore high-speed flight capabilities and push boundaries that were previously unattainable. The significance of this image lies not only in capturing these remarkable machines but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and advancement in aerospace technology during that era. It serves as a testament to NACA's commitment to pushing boundaries and laying foundations for future breakthroughs. This print from Space Images offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of aviation history when daring individuals dared to dream big and paved the way for modern-day space exploration.
