  • Loon Missile Also called the JB-2 by the U.S. Army Air forces, the Loon was an American copy of the German pulsejet-powered V-1 "buzz bomb" of World War II. the long tube at the rear is the air-breathing pulsejet engine. Developed late int he war, the Loon was first test launched in October 1944. Loons couuld be launched from the ground, ships, or aircraft, but they were never used in combat. However, U.S. Navy and Army Air Forces personnel working with Loons gained invaluable experience in handling missiles. The program was canceled in 1950. The Loon was replaced by the faster and more powerful Regulus missile. Length: 8.2 m (27 ft) Weight, loaded: 2,700 kg (6,000 lb) Weight, warhead: 998 kg (2,200 lb) Range: 242 km (150 mi) Thrust: 2,224 N (500 lb) Propellant: gasoline Manufacturer: Ford Motor Co.

  • Univac 1232 Computer The Caption reads: UNIVAC 1232 Computer This computer was used from abotu 1967 through 1990 by the U.S. Air Force's Satellite Control Facility in Sunnyvale, California, in the heart of "Silicon Valley." At this facility, now called Onizuka Air Station, more than a dozen other Sperry 1230-series computers operated in "real time" around the clock as part of a system that controlled and operated satellites for the Air force, NAS, other government agencies, and commercial firms. The 1232 also supported Space Shuttle missions. Manufactured by Sperry Univac's St. Paul, Minnesota, division, the 1232 was a military version of the UNIVAC 490 general purpose commercial computer. It used discrete transisters, was optimized for real-time use, had a 30-bit word length, and initially was supplied with 32,000 words of memory—about 123 kilobytes.

  • Ryan PT-22 Trainer at NASM The description reads: Ryan PT-22A Recruit The PT-22A was a military trainer used mainly by the U.S. Army Air Corps and its successor, the Army Air Forces (AAF). It was the first low-wing monoplane used for primary pilot training, and it made for a smoother transition to more demanding low-wing fighter planes during World War II. The AAF accepted 1,023 PT-22s. Ryan also built PT-22s for the Navy and as part of Lend/Lease contracts with China and other Allies. This Recruit was originally the third of 25 built under contract a s afloatplane trainer for use in the Netherlands East Indies, but the sale fell through after that colony surrendered to Japanese forces in 1942. It was used as an AAF trainer until declared surplus late in the war. After 1944 it had nearly two dozen owners, who cared for and preserved the aircraft and flew it in air shows or for pleasure. gift of John M.
