X-15 by John Anderson
In X-15, the exciting story of the hypersonic X-15-the first space plane-is beautifully illustrated with NASA photographs and exclusive photography of the X-15 from the National Air and Space Museum.Mr. Passman was the chief aerodynamicist for the Bell X-2, the first airplane to fly faster than Mach 3. He shared and contributed to the heady research airplane environment that pervaded the 1950s and ’60s, and much of this book reflects his experience in that environment.
John Anderson (Washington, D.C.) is the curator of aerodynamics at the National Air and Space Museum and a former professor of aerodynamics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of many books about aviation and aerodynamics, both trade titles and textbooks.www.si.edu/ofg/Staffhp/andersonj.htm
