I've added a few stereo image pairs of the Bell X-1 to the page I created in commemoration of Chuck Yeager's talk at the NASM, in Washington, DC on October 4, 2005 -- the 48th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1.
http://www.marstown.org/chuckyeager/ Just click on any of the thumbnails of the "Glamorous Glennis" and a 3-D stereo image pair will pop up in a new window. With practice you can view them on your computer screen without needing any fancy schmancy viewers or goggles. Hope you enjoy them!

Nice pictures!
Why don't you put on your site also Chuck Yeager in 3-D for us who could not attend his lecture? :-)USAF official pictures of his lecture can be seen here (although they are not so nice as Glint's):

Thanks so much for your kind words. How's this?  On edit: I've added a link to this picture on the web page given above. [This message has been edited by Glint (edited October 18, 2005).] |

Glint,
Can you give us a little lesson on how to take stereophotos? |

What works best for me is to start by sitting about three feet from the screen. Now let your eyes relax which will cause them to return to their natural state where each eye's line-of-site is parallel. As you relax your eyes, notice that the two images you see appear to be moving closer together. Make not of a prominent feature, such as the tip of Gen. Yeager's nose, and allow the tips of the noses in both images to become coincident. Once you have brought the two images together, concentrate on refocusing the fused image. quote:

All the ones shown here were taken with a single camera. I take two images a short distance apart while trying to keep the camera level and the center of the camera pointed at the same spot. A friend of mine has been coaching me. Here's a pic he took of me using my camera:
