Northrop "Wing" aircraft
Two views of the Northrop tailless "Wing" aircraft. Label on back: "From Aviation News Committee, Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce. Illustration for article on 'Flying Wing' in November 1 issue of Aviation News features. Release November 1. Bird-like Flying Wing makes its bow. This fantastic looking object is a real airplane which has proved its airworthiness in more than 200 test flights. It is the Northrop 'Wing,' a tailless aircraft of radically new design which typifies the tremendous technical advances made by American aircraft manufacturers. These two photographs, from the Aviation News Committee, show (top) a rear view of the flying wing with its two pusher propellers, and (bottom) a head-on view of the strange ship in flight." Handwritten on back: "Aircraft in action."
