P-51 ("Mustang") fighter planes being prepared for test flight at the field of the North American Aviation, Inc., plant in Inglewood, Calif. (LOC)

    North America's development and production of their NA-73 design for the UK was approved after 2 examples were supplied to the USAAC as XP-51, but before that the US army had already contracted for the procurement of 150 additional aircraft for supply to the UK under lend-lease, designating these P-51 and they differed from the initial eight gun armament by having four wing mounted 20mm canon (as pictured) . From this batch 93 went to the UK becoming Mustang IA 55 went to the USAAF as F-6A's and the remaining 2 were also taken on by the USAAF and re-engined as XP-51B's. Not the first models to enter combat for the US, those were A-36A's in August 1943 (P-51 with dive brakes, bomb racks and six 0.50in) which saw service in the Middle East and in the invasion of Sicily

    Most of these men are Mercury astronauts. Not sure about the leftmost fellow, but the others are, from left, John Glenn (usually wore a bowtie), Wally Schirra (with the cigarette), Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard and Gordon Cooper.

    Her Portuguese wikipedia entry: pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anésia_Pinheiro_Machado
  • Virgilio Silva said:
    For your records, just one correction to your summary. Anésia Pinheiro Machado was born in 1904, as you confirm on the last sentence where you state that she was 18 in 1922. Thanks for sharing. Your work is priceless.
  • Smithsonian Institution said:
    Thank you for the notes about her date of birth. Am checking with our historian. Effie, SIA
  • Smithsonian Institution said:
    The notes we have on her DOB said both 1902 and 1904. Given the caption, we have changed it to 1904. Best, Effie
