B-47 Drogue Chute at Wright-Patterson Photos

From Bill Kuhlman: “I ran across some photos of the Boeing B-47 drogue chute testing done at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The need for and use of a drogue chute is well explained on the Boeing B-47 Wikipedia page  My father was involved in this testing as an Aerodynamic Development Engineer from June 1950 to March 1953. In addition to nine sequenced photos of the test B-47 landing, there’s a copy of a Pioneer Parachute advert showing both the drogue and ribbon parachutes used, plus a photo of the ribbon ‘chute in the wind tunnel.” Credit: Bill Kuhlman
