Title : Douglas D-558-1 Skystreak landing on lakebed

Caption :

The Douglas D-558-1 Skystreak is seen close-up in this 1949 photograph. The D-558-1 made its landing approach at about 210 knots and landed at 143 knots. Despite the (then) high landing speed, the pilots found the airplane's landing characteristics to be satisfactory.
