Personnel of the NACA High-Speed Flight Station gathered for a group photo in front of the station’s new headquarters, Bldg. 4800, on Aug. 12, 1954. The station and its complement of about 250 personnel had moved just six weeks earlier from cramped quarters in a small hangar at what is now known as South Base at Edwards Air Force Base to its new facility just north of the new main base at Edwards on the edge of Rogers Dry Lake. The initial complex, consisting of a central office building and two adjoining hangars along with a few appurtenant structures, became the nucleus of today’s NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.NACA / NASA Photo
