North American P-51B 'Mustang' fighter in flight over bay area. The P-51 with its new laminar-flow wing sections developed by NACA was the first airplane selected for testing of airplane drag in flight and wind tunnel comparison ARC-1945-A-7120
A new three-place North American O-47A observation airplane with Army Air Corps marking was the first ircraft to arrive at Ames. The Circular antenna on top of the canopy is for direction finding. A close look show that help from the front cockpit was needed for directional control when using a rope (instead of a tow bar) to tow the aircraft. (Sept 1940). W.H. McAvoy Ames test pilot returning from an early flight of first test airplane at Ames, a North American O-47A-1 (or 0-47 AAC37-323) This aircraft severed for a short time upon arrival as a research aircraft for heated-wing deicing.

Preparing an experimental scale model of the B-25 bomber for the wind tunnel tests in the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. The model maker is adjusting the empennage to its correct position. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe
Production. Airplane manufacture, general. Model makers prepare accurately sealed minatures of planes built at the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. Here an experimental model of the P-51 ("Mustang") is being finished for wind tunnel and other tests.

A P-51 Mustang and a C-130J sit in the newly renovated McKinley Climatic Laboratory, one of Eglin's most famous landmarks. A P-51 Mustang was the first aircraft to be tested when the chamber opened initially in 1947 and the C-130J will be the first aircraft tested in the new facility. After three year and seventy five million dollars the facility, which is capable of temperatures ranging from minus 85 degrees Fahrenheit to plus 165 degrees Fahrenheit, reopened on June 3, 1997

A portion of the North American P-51B airplane was tested in the 16-foot wind tunnel to devise a means of eliminating a rumble which occurred in the radiator duct system. The actual fuselage and center portion of the airplane was installed in the tunnel for this purpose as is shown. A change in the form of the duct was made and tested, which eliminated the rumble.
