(L to R) Paul F. Bikle, Hugh L. Dryden, and Walter C. Williams in front of the X-15A-2 |
| Description |
Paul F. Bikle, Hugh L. Dryden, and Walter C. Williams (viewer's left to right) stand in front of the recently repaired and modified X-15A-2 that later flew to Mach 6.7 on 3 October 1967. At the time of the photo (19 March 1964), Paul Bikle was the Director of the NASA Flight Research Center (FRC) at Edwards, Calif., Hugh Dryden was the Deputy Administrator of NASA (in whose honor the Flight Research Center was renamed the Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center in March 1976), and Walt Williams was the Deputy Associate Administrator in the Office of Manned Space Flight at NASA Headquarters. Williams had been the first Chief of the High-Speed Flight Station (HSFS), as the FRC was named when the X-15 program began. He was succeeded by Bikle in 1959 after the first flight of the X-15 had taken place from the HSFS. |
