Russian ground forces, he made good his escape several days later, and
walked 1,000 kilometers to his native Austria.
During his career he scored a total of eighteen victories, earning the
Iron Cross First and Second Class. Among his victims were a Spitfire, a
Mustang, two B-24's, six B-17's, two Yak-9's, two LAGG-5's, and four

"BELL
X1-B"
ORIGINAL
X-1 SERIES TESTBED.
Original
Oil Painting By Aviation Artist, Randy Green
(Size 8.5" x 17", Oil on Board) $349.99
This painting
depicts the Bell Aircraft Corporation's X-1B rocket-powered research
aircraft from the original X-1 series. Flying high over Rogers Dry Lake
in 1957 adjacent to the NACA High-Speed Flight Station. The X-1B offered
an ideal testbed for a test reaction control installation. In November
1957, NACA technicians finished installing reaction controls on the
X-1B. NACA test pilot Neil A. Armstrong made three flights in the
airplane to experience the reaction controls performance. Since cracks
in the fuel tanks of the X-1B forced its grounding in 1958, reaction
control research shifted to the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. The Bell
X-1B was a second-generation X-1 used by the U.S. Air Force for pilot
familiarization before being turned over to NACA in December 1954. The
X-1B had a modified fuselage with greater capacity for fuel tanks, an
improved cockpit, and a turbopump fuel system as compared with the X-1.
The NACA used the X-1B primarily for aerodynamic heating and
reaction-control research from 1956 to 1958. The aircraft was fitted
with special instrumentation for exploratory aerodynamic heating tests.
It had over 300 thermocouples installed on it. The X-1B was the first
aircraft to fly with a reaction-control system; a prototype of the
reaction-control system used on the X-15 and other piloted test
aircraft. The X-1B was given to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base Dayton, Ohio, on January 27, 1959, for preservation and
display. This aircraft completed a total of 27 glide and powered flights
by eight U.S. Air Force and two NACA test pilots. Second-generation X-1
aircraft were 35.8 feet long and had a wingspan of approximately 28
feet.

and chemical purity. Shiva oil colors are
absolutely permanent, free from darkening,
yellowing, fading and cracking. All Shiva
formulations are thoroughly ground in
up-to-date mills under exacting laboratory

correct degree of fineness and every color is
formulated individually. Please bear in
mind that oil paintings take many months to
dry completely and should never be displayed
in direct or high-UV lighted areas.
