American Documentary - Aircraft of the Fifities

Post by Nigel H-J »

Came across this documentary of aircraft during the fifties in America. We have all heard of the Flying Flea but the second one shown beats it for size?

They say that the 'power loading' (the weight of the aircraft divided by the power propelling it) of the Sky Baby was comparable to fighter aircraft of World War II. :o
