31622 A.C.-LOS ANGELES LOOKS UP AT THE FUTURE.

The U.S. Air Force Northrop built XB-35 "Flying
Wing" casts a shadow of things to come over Los
Angeles. This radical departure from conventional
airplane design is capable of carrying the atom bomb
or a 10,000 lb. bomb load 10,000 miles. The "Flying
Wing" has completed first test flights. This
airplane has a span of 172 feet and a length of only
53 feet.
