The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing in front of an X-1A fighter jet. The man is wearing a suit and is holding a helmet in his left hand. He is standing on a tiled floor with the jet's nose pointing towards the right side of the image. The jet has the word "X-1" written on the side in large letters. The nose of the jet is pointed upwards and there are two windows on either side. The background is a barren landscape with no other aircraft or buildings visible.
