Today at Edwards in 1945: The Northrop YB-35 Flying Wing made its first flight. Company pilot Max Stanley (on the right walking under the airplane) flew the giant aircraft from Hawthorne to Muroc Dry Lake. The YB-35 was the culmination of many years of experiment and development. The new bomber was powered by four large air-cooled radial engines, each driving a pair of coaxial counter-rotating pusher propellers. #Throwbackthrusday
