Title : D-558-2 being mounted to P2B-1S launch aircraft in hangar
Caption :
This 1954 photograph shows a Douglas D-558-2 under the left wing of the P2B-1S (Navy designation for a B-29) launch aircraft. The P2B-1S has been lifted on mechanical jacks in the hangar for a possible “fit check” or the attachment of the Skyrocket for a flight. The P2B-1S had the nickname ''Fertile Myrtle.'' On the side of its fuselage is a series of images indicating 41 launches by the mothership of D-558-2 #2 (NACA 144) and 44 by D-558-2 #3 (NACA 145).
