week in history 7/14-20

“This Week in History” is a weekly recounting of historical events which shaped today’s U.S. Air Force. On July 17, 1962, Maj. Robert White flew the X-15 to an altitude of 314,750 feet. This qualified him for an Astronaut Badge, becoming the first "Winged Astronaut" and one of a few who have flown into space without a conventional spacecraft. (U.S. Air Force Photo)
