PLEASE NOTE:

Listed here is a copy (not an original) of a page from the 1950
vintage (restricted at that time) Northrop Aircraft Inc. 39-page
booklet entitled:
"Flying Wing Progress" reporting on
and promoting the flying wing aircraft.
All of the figures indicate two or four engine turboprop propulsion
.
The original copy of this item was contained in a collection of Northrop materials owned by Career Northrop structural engineer
(Lawrence Le Vau) from whose estate these materials came.
Mr
. Le Vau worked on the B-35 and the B-49 flying wings and it appears, based on the materials provided, he worked on
the F-89D Scorpion as well.
He was on a team that investigated the crash of YB-49 aircraft 2.
This item would be of particular interest to any fan of the history of the Northrop Flying wing aircraft but would also be
of interest to any military aviation buff in general.
Any folks involved in the design and manufacture of military aircraft
might be interested in this as well
.
In addition, it's a nice piece of what I would call retro art.
Please ask any questions you might have prior to
bidding or buying.
Thank you.
