Summary[edit]

Description
English: This 1954 photograph shows a Douglas D-558-II under the P2B-1S (Navy designation for a B-29) launch aircraft. The P2B-1S has been lifted on mechanical jacks in the hangar for a possible "fit check" or the attachment of the Skyrocket for a flight. The P2B-1S had the nickname "Fertile Myrtle." On the side of its fuselage is a series of images indicating 41 launches by the mothership of D-558-II #2 (NACA 144) and 44 by D-558-II #3 (NACA 145).
