1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:02,300
here well of course I was a fighter I

2
00:00:06,889 --> 00:00:03,810
was a fighter pilot in the Marine Corps

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:06,899
in World War two and we were flying the

4
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:11,730
old corsair at that time the the f4u the

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:13,590
other VF for you it was called that

6
00:00:21,010 --> 00:00:17,010
timely the inverted gull wing and of

7
00:00:24,050 --> 00:00:21,020
course there were a lot of the airfoil

8
00:00:29,259 --> 00:00:24,060
considerations for that airplane that

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:29,269
were developed by NACA and it was a so I

10
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:32,250
benefited from Madeline in later years I

11
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:36,540
became a after the Korean War then I

12
00:00:42,170 --> 00:00:38,760
became a test bottle went through test

13
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:42,180
bottle training and we had the at that

14
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:45,350
time we had the whole new stable of

15
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:47,430
aircraft that were beginning to get into

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:54,270
supersonic flight and the and were

17
00:00:59,420 --> 00:00:56,610
faster and then could carry more load

18
00:01:02,209 --> 00:00:59,430
and all the developments that came with

19
00:01:04,429 --> 00:01:02,219
those airplanes that that became the new

20
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:04,439
breed of jet aircraft to right after

21
00:01:11,539 --> 00:01:06,750
World War Two and that's when we were

22
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:11,549
doing a lot of our test work and so we

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:14,880
were actually doing tests work on a lot

24
00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:17,850
of the things that NACA had developed

25
00:01:24,429 --> 00:01:19,740
through the years and became the basis

26
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:24,439
for for all this new this whole new

27
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:27,900
group of airplanes that had new

28
00:01:33,289 --> 00:01:29,970
characteristics and new capabilities in

29
00:01:36,859 --> 00:01:33,299
speed and load carrying capabilities and

30
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:36,869
range and engines and power and it was a

31
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:39,630
whole new time of advancement so I was
