I have seen a color movie of the flying wing bomber built for the AF. The
last time I saw the movie was at the Aerospace Museum in San Diego. It seems
like it was a PR flik from Northrup showing the roll-out and flight of one
of the 9 jet powered wings built under an AF contract. I have a book(let)
about the wings that I purchased from "Planes of Fame", the air museum
at Chino, Calif. 
Also, the Chino museum is involved in a project to reconstruct one of the
wing prototypes. I believe they'll roll it out early next year. The craft 
is being built from original drawings, has room for 1 pilot (prone) and
is powered by 2 air-cooled (Franklin?) engines buried in the wing. 
  I can bring the book in and post mre info if anyone is interested and
provide addresses of the museums if asked.
