Fascinating collage, Don. Each photo is a gem and put together it is superb.

Don Struke replied:

Thank you, Sharon! What an interesting era this was and, thankfully, we have many photos to help memorialize it.

Fantastic montage and what a great story Don:)

Don Struke replied:

There's a motel-lounge near Edwards Air Force Base, the California site of most of the early rocket plane (and much more) testing. It was called Muroc back then. Many of the NASA (our once-viable space agency) people stay there and it seems every wall is covered with pilots' and airplane photos and other flying-related material. I stay there anytime I'm at the Willow Springs race track, and it's a treat to see all of the aviation bits and think about Chuck Yeager and all the other "Right Stuff" heroes who have also stayed there.

Don Struke replied:

Thanks for stopping by some of my images, Shanina!

Artist's Description

(NOTE: The Fine Art America watermark seen in the preview windows does not appear on actual prints.)
Two days before Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in this Bell X-1 rocket-powered aircraft, he bashed up a rib or two while horseback riding at Pancho Barnes' ranch. (You might like to Google her name.) A quick try proved his injuries would make it impossible to pull the X-1's hatch shut. The ultra high tech solution at the dawn of America's space age (the X-1 could reach 90,000 feet): A sawed-off broom handle with a hook on one end. On October 14, 1947, Yeager reached Mach 1, the first to do so in level flight. His flight also established a record for the world's fastest broomstick.

George Welch had broken the sound barrier, too, in an F-86 Sabre the morning of Yeager's record flight, but he dove the Sabrejet to do it. A point of interest is that Welch and another U.S. Army Air Corps pilot, Ken Taylor, were the only fighter pilots who got into the air during the Japanes...

About Don Struke

Don Struke

Although I don't call myself a photographer, I have taken thousands of photos through the years and now and then I end up with one that is printworthy. Well, at least by my standards, which might be somewhat less than the norm. But you are the judge (continued below). PLEASE CLICK ON AD TO LEARN ABOUT THIS SITE I'm fortunate enough to have enjoyed a rather varied background in marketing, advertising, public relations, print and electronic media, TV production, and publication design in both corporate and non-profit organizations. As my list of photos on Fine Art America slowly grows, it should be apparent that my interests are all over the place, from the sight of beautiful flowers and landscapes to aviation and high performance...
