dynasoar_v_bw_o_n (USAF photo no. 96704-62)
“The X-20 Dyna-Soar is separated from the third stage of its Titan III launch vehicle. The transtage, not shown here, will provide the final thrust vector necessary to inject the X-20 into the desired orbit.”
A rarity; a brief & concise description/caption. Too bad it’s for such an average depiction of a cutting-edge "spaceplane". Though understandably so, if by the hand of an Airman. 😉
The colored lineations are the scanner's interpretation of the waviness induced by the adhesive used to affix the description on the verso.
