Pilot training on the Piper J-3 Cub training aircraft from Tuskegee University in Alabama, United States (home of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War 2). Aerial view of Piper Cub training aircraft in flight. Pilot and copilot in aircraft while in flight. Aircraft tilts while in flight.
Pilot training on the Piper J-3 Cub training aircraft from Tuskegee University in Alabama, United States (home of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War 2). Moveable horizontal stabilizer of the Piper Cub is demonstrated. The aircraft "S" taxis on a field (proper for tail wheel airplanes, because of limited forward visibility). Trees in the background.

Flight tests of Ercoupe airplane without and with an auxiliary jet propulsion at March Field in California. The flight test is conducted to furnish information on the effect of auxiliary jet propulsion on short take off distance and time, effect on stability and control and effect of blast from jet units on the airplane structure. Check posts at March Field. Men at machines during flight testing. The men enter a check post made of aluminum sheets.
Flight tests of Ercoupe airplane without and with an auxiliary jet propulsion at March Field in California. Check posts made of aluminium sheets at an airfield. A sign on a check post: 'Explosives'. Solid propellant sections leave thrust to be used in Ercoupe airplane flight tests at the airfield.
Flight tests of Ercoupe airplane without and with an auxiliary jet propulsion at March Field in California. Flight tests are carried out in early morning. The aircraft is piloted by Captain Homer A. Boushey, Jr. The pilot in the cockpit. Flight test crew unloads the boot of a car. The pilot in the Ercoupe airplane and the airplane is in hold down position for the measurement of static thrust of the propeller. Crew men assemble jet units for the tests. They work with the jet units. The car parked in the background. The airplane in stationary position for static tests.
