Curtiss P-36A Hawk 38-001 (msn 12415, call-sign 69 ) in 1940 war game special camouflage colours, in the collection of the National United States Air Force Museum, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. North American X-10 GM-19307 (msn 1). (Note: the serial number is in the little used Guided Missile series and not a normal military serial) The X-10 was an un-manned test vehicle for the SM-64 Mavaho Inter-Continental Cruise Missile, which was under development from 1950 in the WS-104A program. Used for exploring the envelope up to M1.2, the X-10s continued useful service after the SM-64 program was cancelled in 1957. Date: circa 1969

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two historic aircraft, the Curtiss P-36A Hawk 38-001 (msn 12415, call sign 69) and the North American X-10 GM-19307, housed in the National United States Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The P-36A Hawk, a iconic fighter aircraft from the early years of military aviation, is seen here in special war game camouflage colors from 1940. The North American X-10 GM-19307, on the other hand, is an un-manned test vehicle with an intriguing history. With a serial number in the little-used Guided Missile series (msn 1), it was not a typical military aircraft. The X-10 was used in the WS-104A program, which aimed to develop the SM-64 Mavaho Inter-Continental Cruise Missile. During this period, the X-10s explored the envelope up to Mach 1.2. Despite the cancellation of the SM-64 program in 1957, the X-10s continued to provide valuable service. This photograph, taken circa 1969, captures a unique moment in aviation history, with these two aircraft representing the past and the future of military aviation technology.
