The D-558-2 is launched from the Navy P2B-1S in this 1956 photograph. The drop plane was P2B-1S. It had been built as a B-29A before being modified as a drop plane for the Navy. Dubbed 'Fertile Myrtle,' the mothership used the call sign 'NACA 137.' The Douglas D-558-2 'Skyrockets' were among the early transonic research airplanes like the X-1, X-4, X-5, and X-92A. Three of the single-seat, swept-wing aircraft flew from 1948 to 1956. The Skyrocket made aviation history when it became the first airplane to fly twice the speed of sound. Douglas pilot John F.
