Title: North American X-15

The X-15 is the fastest manned aircraft ever produced. Designed for Mach 6 at 250,000 ft the aircraft was actually a rocketship and was probably the most remarkable and valuable of the X-series of aircraft. Dropped from a B-52 mothership the X-15 first flew in 1959, and over almost 200 flights through the early sixties reached a maximum altitude of 354,000 ft and a speed of 4,534 mph.

This title contains a scan of an original flight manual for the North American X-15, signed by two of the test pilots who flew it, along with two other manuals scanned from good quality photocopies of the original flight manuals, plus an interesting 1955 publication detailing the original design summary.
