Here are some silent film clips from a 1954 movie at Edwards Air Force Base, starting with a takeoff of the Douglas X-3 Stiletto, followed by aerial views of base modernization, the takeoff of an early short-tail F-100, and then the preparation and launch of a straight-wing X-1E from a B-29 mother ship and the swept wing X-2 from a B-50. We'll have more 1954 flight test footage in the future... enjoy! (Have you subscribed to the Airailimages Channel on YouTube? Playlisted this video? Thanks! It helps as we grow our channel.)
