he prototype of this aircraft was developed in the 1950s. The McDonnell XF-88B with a nose-mounted Allison T38 turboprop engine and two turbojets spent most of its flight time at NACA Langley. Flight testing on this model began in 1953 and continued through 1956 when these photos were taken. This model was the first propeller-equipped aircraft to exceed Mach 1.0.
