North American P-51D-30-NA Mustang

23 pp

Early in 1942, the British tested four RAF Mustangs fitted with the two-stage, two-speed Merlin 65 engine. The supercharger in the Merlin 65 was optimized to produce sea-level horsepower up to approximately 9,150 m (30,000 ft).

Northrop P-61C Black Widow

8 pp

P-61s arrived in the Pacific Theater at about the same time as the European Black Widows. For years, the Japanese had operated lone bombers over Allied targets at night and now U. S. fighters could locate and attack them. However, on June 30, 1944, a Mitsubishi BETTY (see NASM collection) became the first P-61 kill in the Pacific. Soon, Black Widows controlled the night skies. On the night of Augu

Nozzle, Rocket. Solid Fuel, R.H. Goddard

2 pp

This is a nozzle from a 1-inch solid fuel rocket which U.S. rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard made during 1917-1918 for the U.S. Army as a weapon during World War I. The spiral grooves on the nozzle caused the rocket to rotate during its flight thereby helping to counteract deviations in its flight path and making it more stable in its flight.
