1946. Three Northrop Flying Wings above the Mojave, near AAF's testing station at Muroc, California

 


Years of experimentation and testing of actual designs went into building of the Northrop XB-35 flying wing bomber. One of the early models was the 60-ft., twin-engine N9M, three of which are shown here for the first time in formation flight over the Mojave Desert, near the AAF's testing station at Muroc, California.
