...force is a slick, tough outfit with 92,000 men and the latest type of fighter-bombers. Like the army, it is geared tightly to NATO plans. While France's Charles de Gaulle stub bornly impedes cooperation and while the British ponder their own role, West Germany enthusiastically cooperates with U.S. military planning. Symbol of this close relationship is the cluster of five military agreements signed in August, which envisions a German-American tank for the 1970s, joint development of missile cruisers and jet helicopters, plus an ambitious combined research project on new weapons...
...across the Burma treetops in support of British General Orde Wingate's Chindits. The outfit was disbanded shortly after World War II. But today at Eglin, members of the all-volunteer 1st Air Commando Group work with ancient C46 and C-47 transports, stub-nosed B-26 light bombers, and prop-driven, single-engined T-28 trainers. Last month at Eglin, President Kennedy laughed aloud during a spectacular, jet-packed Air Force show when a venerable Air Commando C-47 shot sharply into the sky belching smoke from JATO rocket boosters. But the Air Commandos are no laughing matter...

When he finally set down at Rogers Dry Lake, Calif., the indomitable father of four (the latest born fortnight ago) opined that one of the plane's bugs, originally diagnosed as heat condensation, was actually only the "scorching of paint inside the canopy." Skin temperature of the X-15 at the height of Walker's "by guess and by gosh" flight: a toasty...
...black, 50-ft. long, stub-winged plane left Edwards Air Force Base tucked under the right wing of a B-52. Somewhere over the just-awakening revelry of Las Vegas, at 45,000 ft., Walker and -55 Pilot Fitzhugh Fulton began their countdown prior to dropping the X-15 for its flight. Midway in the countdown, Walker interrupted by radio: "We've lost our liquid-nitrogen cooler. My mixing chamber quit." Without the cooler both his special flight suit and his cockpit would turn into bake ovens in the searing, supersonic flight to come. As the mother plane circled...
