Excellent article in the February 2017 issue of Air Force Magazine by John T. Correll on early flying wing aircraft ["Jack Northrop's Flying Wing," p. 68]. One interesting fact involves the copilot, Glen Edwards, of the YB-49 that crashed on June 5, 1948, killing all onboard. He emigrated from Canada at the age of 13 and was raised right here in Lincoln, Calif. He served with distinction in World War Ⅱ and went on to test pilot duties at Muroc Army Airfield in the high desert area of California. He is interred in Lincoln and a school here is named Glen Edwards Middle School. Muroc AAF was renamed Edwards AFB in 1949.
