B-29 X-1 Mothership

At approximately 10:00 am on October 14, 1947, a four-engine Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber, piloted by Major Robert L. Cardenas, took off from Muroc Air Force Base (now known as Edwards Air Force Base) in the high desert north of Los Angeles, California. The B-29’s bomb bay had been modified to carry the Bell XS-1, a rocket-powered airplane designed to investigate flight at speeds near the Speed of Sound (Mach 1). On this day, with Check Yeager at the controls, this historic plane flew at speeds up to Mach 1.012, making a milestone in aviation history.
