An illustrated cutaway of the B9U Fly-back booster for the joint North American Aviation / Convair/GD space shuttle concept is in the background. The B9U fly-back booster was to be built General Dynamics / Convair and the NAR-161B shuttle it was to boost into orbit was to be constructed by North American Rockwell.
