The Planes of Fame Air Museum, one of the world’s oldest and largest collections of vintage aircraft, has been making steady progress on a rare piece of history to add to its already impressive stable of airworthy airframes. The type in question is Bell YP-59A Airacomet 42-108777, one of just six remaining examples of America’s first jet-powered aircraft of the 66 built. It is also a uniquely surviving pre-production variant.
Here is the latest report by young historian Adam Estes, we are excited to have him on board!
