SPAD was better known for its single-seat fighters, and the two-seat S.XI/S.XVI served without distinction as a reconnaissance aircraft. Six S.XVIs were supplied to the Americans, and this particular one was flown by Lt Col Billy Mitchell during the Battle of Château-Thierry in July 1918.

Actually an RCAF machine serialled 2346, this Lysander was stored post-war in Ontario, Canada till restoration to flying condition in 1973 at Van Nuys, CA, then assuming the RAF identity N7791 (which is not a civil N reg). Donated to the Smithsonian in 1979

This bizarre experimental design was intended to lead to a VTOL ship-based convoy escort fighter but not surprisingly proved difficult to fly. Powered by a very unreliable Allison YT40-A-6 turboprop consisting of two T38s coupled together, it made a first untethered flight and transition to the horizontal in 8.54 - the first successful VTOL flight in history in an aircraft that was not a helicopter or an autogiro. Three were built but this was the only one to fly. Now stored for the NASM

My shot of this record-breaking machine at Farnborough gives more details. Set another speed record, this time transcontinental, on delivery flight to Air & Space Museum at Dulles on 6.3.90. View gives some measure of the wealth of exhibits on offer at the Udvar-Hazy Center

My shot of this record-breaking machine at Farnborough gives more details. Set another speed record, this time transcontinental, on delivery flight to Air & Space Museum at Dulles on 6.3.90. View gives some measure of the wealth of exhibits on offer at the Udvar-Hazy Center

On 16.8.69, Darryl Greenamyer broke the three kilometre speed record at 483 mph in this highly modified Bearcat "Conquest 1". The previous record had been set in 1939 in a Messerschmitt Me 209. Greenamyer won the National Air Races six times with this aircraft before donating it to the Smithsonian in 1977

Many years ago while "Enola Gay" was still dismantled and in store at the Silver Hill facility, I once had the eerie experience of being able to go on board and sit in the bombadier's seat. Of course this is the Superfortress which dropped the world's first atomic bomb used in warfare on Hiroshima on 6.8.45

Altair was established at Philadelphia in 1967 and served southern New England and the mid-Atlantic states. They later flew F.28s but ceased operations in Nov 1982. This 1966 N.262 was previously with Alisarda and Cimber Air and ended up wfu at Panama City after being leased to a Colombian company.

Designed with folding wings and tail surfaces to be catapulted from submarines and used to attack the USA mainland, the first mission with Seirans on board was at sea when Japan surrendered. To shorten the launching process, they were to be catapulted from a cold start by heating the engine oil to 60°C in a separate chamber and pumping it through the engine just before launch, along with hot water. This is the only survivor of 28 built

The Puerto Rico ANG (or PRANG) was the last operational user of the Starfighter in the USAF (1968-75); never common in American use, the only others by this time were the natural finish aircraft of the Luftwaffe training unit at Luke AFB, AZ. Nice to see another Lockheed classic sharing the ramp. Langley AFB was the first airbase in the US, opened 1916
