By early 1942 the Flight Test Division at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio began looking for an isolated location to conduct flight testing of Top Secret aircraft. The 44-square mile Rogers Dry Lake located nearby the training base at Muroc provided the ideal location. Eventually, all of America's early jets, both Air Force and Navy, underwent flight testing at Muroc, which quickly became synonymous with the cutting edge flight research of the turbojet revolution. By 1946, however, a new type of research activity designed to explore the most challenging unknowns of flight began. This was the dawn of the \"X-Planes.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher McCall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475222408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475222401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.20d","brand":"Christopher McCall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935523897599,"sku":"9781475222401","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ccf82129-a77f-4f0a-999f-0f2ca4dee9d1.jpg?v=1681420294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/x-planes-christopher-mccall-9781475222401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
