| description: | This series contains much of Lippisch's work in the field of smoke tunnels and flow visualization. Box 26 contains publications on the subject, while Box 27 contains photographs. A television series, "The Secret of Flight," was created to show how flight is accomplished -- Box 28 includes material from the show, including a copy of the Peabody Award, which the television series won in 1956 (Box 28, Folder 24). The series also includes design drawings. | |
