North Hollywood, Los Angeles, The Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation

(Gareth Simpson Photo)

The Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation is a 75-foot-tall (23 m) structure of marble, mosaic, and sculpted figures and is the burial site for fifteen pioneers of aviation.  It was built in 1924 as the entrance to Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery.  Aviation enthusiast James Gillette was impressed by the rotunda's close proximity to the airport and Lockheed Aircraft Company.  He conceived a plan to use the structure as a shrine to aviation and worked to that end for two decades.  It was dedicated in 1953 by aviation enthusiasts who wanted a final resting place for pilots, mechanics, and other pioneers of flight.  10621 Victory Blvd.

Douglas D-558-II Skyrocket No. 3 (BuNo. 37975), mounted on a pylon at the intersection of Avenue K and 30th Street West.  This was the third of the three ‘558 Stage 2’ Skyrockets built and was the only one to be fitted with both rocket and jet engines together.  Although allocated Navy Bu numbers, they were operated by NACA from Muroc Dry Lake (now Edwards AFB).  Between September 1951 and mid-1953, ‘145’ was flown by Scott Crossfield and Walter Jones to investigate ‘Pitch-up’.  In November 1953, Scott Crossfield broke the Mach 2 barrier in sister aircraft ‘NACA 143’.  From 1954, ‘145’ was used to test the effect of external stores on the aircrafts transonic behavior.  This was completed in 1956 and the aircraft retired, having completed a total of 87 flights.
