Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert M. Stanley (1912 - 1977) was an American test pilot and engineer. He became the first American to fly a jet aircraft on October 2, 1942, as a civilian test pilot for Bell Aircraft. He flew the Bell XP-59A Airacomet, which was the United States' first turbojet aircraft. The flight took place at Muroc Dry Lake, California. The Airacomet is on display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. While an ensign in the Navy assigned to the carrier Lexington, Bob designed the Stanley 'Nomad', a high performance sailplane with an aluminum fuselage and a tapered wing. He also designed and fitted this aircraft with the first known "Vee" tail and flew it to an altitude record of 17,284 feet inside a large cumulus cloud during a soaring contest in Elmira, NY, in 1939. This glider also set a cross-country record by flying from Elmira, NY, to Congressional Country Club in suburban Washington, DC.
