The Bell X-5 did research that led to more modern swing wing aircraft like the F-14 and F-111. Inspired by the WWII Messerschmitt P.1011 design, the German fighter's wing sweep was only adjustable on the ground and the Bell design was adjustable in flight. This last remaining X-5 was the first of two built and is displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Pictured in an annex hangar, it has since moved to the Museum's new display hangar suspended in the Research & Development section.

In 1943 a Romanian AF pilot defected to Cyprus with this a/c. It was subsequently flown to the U.S. for flight testing at Wright Field in Ohio. It was then put into storage and delivered to the USAF Museum in January 1960. The markings in the slide were the first ones applied by the museum. The a/c is currently on display in the World War 2 Gallery in Romanian AF markings. This slide was taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum on Patterson AFB.

Donated to the USAF Museum by Spain in 1966. After acquiring an actual Bf 109 the museum deaccessioned this a/c. In 2003 it was registered with the FAA as N109FF. It has since been restored to flying condition as a Bf 109G-2 and is at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA. This slide was taken at the outdoor aircraft display area at the original USAF Museum site on Patterson AFB.

This is the first of two X-5 a/c built. It first flew on 20 June 1951 and had last test flight on 25 October 1955. It was then used as a chase aircraft until 1958, when it was transferred to the museum. This slide was taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum on Patterson AFB. It is now on display in the Research and Development Gallery in the current museum.

Surefire way for a Jenny to be photographed was to have a prang. In this instance both left wings have been torn off but the aircraft otherwise looks undamaged. Photo taken at what was then Wright Field but now part of the Patterson (eastern) section of Wright-Patterson Air Base. The US Army received hundreds of Canadian-built Jennies such as this one.

This is XF-91 46-680 marked as XF-91 46-681. It is unknown why the USAF Museum had the wrong serial number on the a/c. 46-680 was delivered to the museum in 1955. When displayed later at the new museum it had the correct s/n on the vertical fin. This slide was taken at the outdoor aircraft display area at the old museum on Patterson AFB. It is still part of the museum collection but as of 2022 it is in storage according to the museum website.
