In the midst of a project to scan my dad's slides, I came across pictures from
my parents summer 1965 trip to Washington. They took three photos of items that would later go in the National Air and Space Museum, but at the time were in the National Museum of American History (I think). http://www.geocities.com/wizardimps/smithsonian1.jpg This one has the Wright Flyer and Lindberg's Spirit of St. Louis. I don't see any other air/space craft in this picture. http://www.geocities.com/wizardimps/smithsonian2.jpg As near as I can tell, this is a mockup, replica, or test article for Mariner 3&4 (when you compare it to the photo at the Encyclopedia Astronautica at http://www.astronautix.com/craft/marner34.htm). I searched the NASM site (http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/space/space.html) and it doesn't list a Mariner 3 or 4, only a 2 and a 10 (since removed). Anyone know any more? http://www.geocities.com/wizardimps/smithsonian3.jpg A rocket of some sort, sitting on the Mall. I don't know enough to even guess at what this one is. -- Michael R.
