The first Thunderjet prototype. It was flown from Long Island to Muroc AAF (now Edwards AFB) by the XC-97 Stratofreighter prototype and first flew on its own, limited power on 28 February 1946. It crashed in Oklahoma on 18 October 1946 on a flight from Wright Field back to Muroc. Photo from: US Air Force

The second XB-51, left, is prepared for its first flight, with the first one, 46-685, on the right. The Martin factory buildings are still in WWII camouflage. The XB-51 was fast and worked well, but had short endurance and the airframe was not very strong. Photo from: Glenn L Martin Maryland Aviation Museum

Crop of original photo with an H-5G, 48-528 on the right. According to the original caption, the Skymaster was transporting troops from this undisclosed airbase to a more advanced airbase. Later converted to HC-54D rescue aircraft. Assigned to 57th ARS, Lajes, Azores, it collided with a HC-97G, 52-2773, during filming and crashed into the sea off Bermuda on 29 July 1964.

The Vertol 107 prototype, N74060, first flew in 1958. Before the US Marines adopted the design as the HRB Sea Knight in 1961, the US Army tested three YHC-1A airframes, but the Army opted for a heavier transport helicopter, the Chinook, which was confusingly designated YHC-1B before becoming the CH-47. This was the first YHC-1A. The HRB and HC-1A designations were unified to CH-46 in 1962. 58-5514 assigned to NASA in 1964. Later NASA 533. Airframe withdrawn in 1975 with 685 flight hours, fate unknown. Photo from: NASA Langley

Prototype of a 'personal helicopter' designed by Lewis McCarty and built by De Lackner Helicopters from New York. The US Army ordered a dozen examples of the DH-5 Aerocycle model. Its military designation YHO-2 was soon changed to HZ-1 in a category of its own. It was hoped that the craft could be flown by soldiers after a brief instruction, but it wasn't that easy and obviously the rotor was extremely dangerous to the pilot and bystanders alike.

'Doman Helicopters, Inc, flew its first passengers in a Doman LZ-5 'air taxi' on July 13th, in Danbury, Connecticut. There were seven passengers taking the historic initial flight. The LZ-5 is a commercial version of the YH-31 evacuation ambulance which carries four litters plus an attendant and the pilot.' This was the first LZ-5 prototype, first flown on 27 April 1953. Three were built. 52-5779 was also N13458. It is said that the US Army used 52-5779 and 52-5780 around Washington, DC as VZ-31s, but that seems rather unlikely. Photo from: Vertical Flight Society

From 1933 to 1936, the Coast Guard's aircraft also wore names of stars, and the absence of its name Arcturus would date this photo from 1936. The type was retired in August 1941.

XH498 was part of a three Vulcan flypast that was the star event at the opening of Wellington airport (NZWN). But when it tried to land it struck an embankment. The left main landing gear was left dangling and the Vulcan diverted to RNZAF Ohakea, where the damaged left undercarriage collapsed.

C-47A 42-92482 to US Marines as an R4D-5, BuNo 17136, in January 1944. The original caption suggest the Edwards test centre used three R4Ds, one at a time, between 1952 and 1984, and that this was the second one between 1956 and 1979. One of their jobs was to check if lakebeds were dry enough for X-plane emergency landings. Last registration of this airframe, XA-ROM. Photo from: NASA

Shell's attractive Lockheed Orion, flown by Jimmy Doolittle. It was built in Detroit in 1931 as a DL-2A Altair with a metal fuselage. Used as a mailplane by TWA. Following an accident, it was rebuilt as an L-9C in 1932 and sold to Shell. Damaged in 1936, then sold to Paul Mantz for air racing in 1938. The only surviving Orion, it was eventually preserved in Lucerne, Switzerland as "CH-167". Does anyone recognize this airport? Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

The Bendix Model K prototype initially flew with an uncovered fuselage and later with a fully enclosed, egg-shaped fuselage. By January 1947 it was in this form, with an open cockpit. Oddly the Model K and the larger Model J were apparently both named Whirlaway. Bendix Helicopter closed its doors in 1949. NX41817 then went to NACA for rotor research work according to a NASA document. An end date for this is not known to us. Photo from: NASA Langley
