Air Force test pilot Robert Cardenas has signed this great 8x10 Black & White photo of the Douglas XB-43 jet bomber in flight. Some of Cardenas’s many accomplishments are drop pilot for Chuck Yeager’s X-1 flight and AF pilot on many test missions of the Northrop Flying Wings.


This is a real photo produced from an archive negative by, and signed for, the Flight Test Historical Foundation in the early 1990's for their museum fund-raising effort. It is the real deal. It is in excellent condition and will make a great centerpiece to any X-plane, early space flight, or flight test history collection. This photo has been cleaned and stored by archival standards since it was signed over 30 years ago. 

This is an original chemically-processed print, made from the original archived negative. This print was made in the 1990’s and has been stored flat in a smoke-free, temperature-controlled environment. It is the real dealnot a digital reproduction.
