X-Planes & Etc. - 25 Years of Flight Research at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center
Includes film I've never seen before of an XB-70 in what must have been supersonic flight (wingtips were drooped) with very prominent contrails streaming from the canards.
"A narrated film documentary of flight tests at the NACA and NASAs Flight Research Center shows the X-1, D-558-II, X-3, X-4, X-5, and X-15 in flight and on the ground. The story describes what each aircraft contributed to flights expansion."
