Summary[edit]

Description Description: (September 30, 1946) Five NACA engineers, headed by Walt Williams, arrived at Muroc Army Airfield (now Edwards AFB) on September 30, 1946 from Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, VA, to prepare for X-1 supersonic research flights in joint NACA-Army Air Forces program. This the first NACA-NASA presence is established at the Mojave Desert site.
