By testing a North American XP-51B Mustang with cropped wings in the 16-foot High-Speed Tunnel, Ames researchers traced the source of a serious rumble to the location of the plane?s radiator cooling scoop below the fuselage. The problem scoop is barely visible below the wing. Lowering it slightly moved it outside the turbulent boundary layer and eliminated the rumble. Note the turntables in the walls for pitch adjustment.

This 19th Sentai aircraft (the markings of its previous unit, the 55th Sentai, were still faintly visible on the aircraft's tail while still in Japanese markings) was captured by the US Marines at Yontan airfield on Okinawa in 1945 and restored to flying status by personnel of VMF-322 and VMF-323, complete with blue fuselage, white tail, horizontal stabilizors and engine band and red spinner, rudder and elevators and US markings, becoming known as the Yontan Tony, Tony Toy or Flying Toy. The only damage done to the aircraft was one shot to the radiator. The aircraft was most likely scrapped when the Marines at Yontan and Kadena airfields ran out of Ki-61 spare parts.

The SB-29 'Super Dumbo' was a version of the B-29 adapted for air-sea rescue duty after World War II. Sixteen B-29s were modified to carry a droppable A-3 lifeboat under the fuselage; redesignated SB-29, they were used mainly as rescue support for air units that flew long distances over water. The first SB-29s were received by the Air Rescue Service in February 1947. With the exception of the forward lower gun turret, all defensive armament was retained; the aircraft additionally carried a variety of radio equipment, provisions, survival kits, and extra crew. The SB-29 was used operationally throughout the Korean War into the mid-1950s.
