EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the NACA High-Speed Flight Research Station, where the Bell Aircraft Corporation X-1-2 sits proudly on the ramp. Standing tall behind it is none other than the legendary Boeing B-29 launch ship, affectionately known as "Fertile Myrtle". The attention to detail is remarkable, with a painting near the nose of the B-29 depicting a stork carrying a bundle. This symbolic artwork represents the Mothership launching her babe, symbolizing how this powerful aircraft served as a nurturing force for its smaller counterpart, the X-1-2. As our eyes wander across this image, we notice that the pilot access door to the cockpit of the X-1-2 is open. It invites us to imagine what it must have been like for those brave pilots who embarked on groundbreaking high-speed flights from within that very cockpit. This print captures not only two iconic aircraft but also an era of innovation and exploration. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries and reaching new heights in aviation history. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or simply appreciate historical moments frozen in time, this image transports you into an era filled with excitement and possibility.
