The planes chosen highlight American innovations and technological contributions to military, commercial, and general aviation from 1930 - 1959. The aircraft pictured here is the YB-49 Flying Wing. The YB-49 was a prototype jet-powered heavy bomber aircraft developed by Northrop Corporation shortly after World War II for the U.S. Air Force. It featured a Flying Wing design and was a jet-powered development of the earlier, piston-engined XB-35 and YB-35. The only two YB-49s built were both converted YB-35 test aircraft. The YB-49 was never produced, being passed over in favor of the more conventional Convair B-36. All work was not lost as the design work performed in the development of the YB-49 proved to be valuable to decades later in the development of the B-2 stealth bomber in the early 1990s. A bit more history: The United States Post Office issued its first stamp on July 1, 1847. Since that time, over 5000 stamps have been released. Each stamp is given its own identification number called a Scott Number. This stamp has been designated as Scott Number 3925.
