Fueling The Orange Beast
On October 14, 1947, the world of aviation would reach a major milestone by going supersonic for the first time. The machine and the men involved in this achievement are forever immortalized in aviation history. The artist chose to represent both elements prior to the historic flight. On the left of the composition Major Robert Cardenas confers on last-minute details with pilot Capt. Chuck Yeager and engineer/pilot Capt. Jack Ridley. Capt. Yeager is holding the famous broomstick segment used by him to secure the hatch door on the X-1 rocket plane.
