Landing at some sort of event. An aerial photographer with the USAAF during WWII, Gerald Massie became Missouri's official state photographer from 1945 and continued to take promotional photos until 1974. The helicopter also had a long active career, from 1955 until 1979. It is preserved at Little Rock AFB since 2016. Photo by: Gerald Massie / Missouri State Archives

F-84Gs 51-769, 51-1225, 51-1694 and 51-1867 received an E for Exempt prefix for ZELMAL (Zero-length Launch, Mat Landing) V/STOL trials. A big rocket blasted the Thunderjet into the sky and the pilot was supposed to land, gear up, on an inflatable mat, using an arresting cable. 51-1225 was damaged beyond repair in the first mat landing at Edwards on 2 June 1954. Here it is seen at the Mid-America Jubilee exhibition in Saint Louis, held in September 1956 on the Mississippi riverfront where the Gateway Arch stands today. Note the additions on the nose, already seen in a shot of 51-1225 being launched. Photo by: Gerald Massie / Missouri State Archives

The elegant B-46, rejected at an early stage in favour of the B-45 Tornado which could be made work quicker, and the B-47 Stratojet which had far more potential. Only this prototype was completed. Photo from: National Museum of the US Air Force
