Miss Edwards sits on the wing of X-15 no. 1 at Edwards Air Force Base in July 1962. This photo comes from the excellent X-15 Photo Reference CD. Ed Hengeveld |

Guess you couldn't do that these days - you'd have to have a "Mr Edwards" as well Paul |

Hello Ed, thanks for photo. She looks deserving of the title and seems to be "reigning" from up high. Great to see a woman's photo.Do you have one of Valentina Tereshkova? There is a new book out "Women in Space Following Valentina" by Davis Shayder. Should be an interesting read for those interested in the subject. |

Philip, It's sad. That's the first thing I noticed in the picture as well. I guess we really are space geeks!! Cliff |
