Production. Airplane manufacture, general. Model makers prepare accurately sealed minatures of planes built at the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. Here an experimental model of the P-51 ("Mustang") is being finished for wind tunnel and other tests. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

Wind tunnel tests aircraft design. S.D. West of the aerodynamics section of the Bureau of Standards demonstrates the "wind tunnel" for testing aircraft design. Most airplanes submitted to the Department of Commerce for approval employ standard types of controls. To ascertain whether the safety of planes can be increased by small modifications of the controls, the Bureau makes studies of the performance of small airplane models in the "wind tunnel," 1/31
