I have seen a color movie of the flying wing bomber built for the AF. The last time I saw the movie was at the Aerospace Museum in San Diego. It seems like it was a PR flik from Northrup showing the roll-out and flight of one of the 9 jet powered wings built under an AF contract. I have a book(let) about the wings that I purchased from "Planes of Fame", the air museum at Chino, Calif. Also, the Chino museum is involved in a project to reconstruct one of the wing prototypes. I believe they'll roll it out early next year. The craft is being built from original drawings, has room for 1 pilot (prone) and is powered by 2 air-cooled (Franklin?) engines buried in the wing. I can bring the book in and post mre info if anyone is interested and provide addresses of the museums if asked. fred cordes at Burroughs ASG San Diego sdcsvax!bmcg!fredc
