Echtfoto. Zustand: Gut. Foto von Donald L. Mallick bildseitig mit schwarzem Stift signiert mit eigenhändigem Zusatz "XB-70 Pilot NASA" /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Donald L. Mallick (born October 4, 1930) is an American former pilot at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center from 1963 to 1981. He later became the deputy chief for the Dryden Aircraft Operations Division.[1] Early life and education Mallick was born on October 4, 1930, in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, in a small town near Pittsburgh. He was the second and youngest son of Robert S. Mallick Sr. and Louise Wesche Mallick, both of whom were of German descent. Louise was born in Germany in 1903, and migrated to the United States in 1907. Robert Sr. was born in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, with his family history going back to the late 1700s, when the family arrived from Germany. Mallick's older brother, Robert Scott Mallick Jr. was an Army Air Corps flier and a B-24 pilot during World War II, and participated in bomb drops on Germany, taking off from Great Britain's airfields. Mallick graduated from Neville Twp. High School, Pennsylvania in 1948. He enrolled at Penn State College in the field of Mechanical Engineering. After two years of college, the Korean War interrupted his college education. Mallick had always had a desire to follow on his brother's footsteps and become a pilot. The Korean War provided an opportunity for Mallick to enter flight training. The mandatory WWII draft was still in effect and provided an excellent excuse for Mallick to leave college and follow his desire to become a pilot. Mallick's parents were not pleased with his decision, but his's brother supported him in this endeavor, so Mallick proceeded with attempting to join the United States Air Force. Military career Mallick served as a pilot in the US Navy after two years of undergraduate work at Penn State. The Air Force rejected Mallick's application due to his young age of 19.5, since the Air Force requirement for accepting cadets was a minimum age of 20.5 years old. Following USAF's rejection, he walked down the hall of the old Pittsburgh Post Office Building and signed up with the Navy. Mallick entered Naval Flight Training in September 1950 and graduated as an Ensign and a Naval Fighter Pilot in March 1952. Mallick married a home town girl, Audrey E. Waite, right upon his graduation from the naval flight training. Shortly thereafter he reported to the Naval Fleet Squadron VF-172, stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. For the next two and a half years, Mallick flew from three different aircraft carriers and served in the European and Pacific theaters. Mallick was a successful Navy pilot and enjoyed the challenges of his naval aviation career, but it was not conducive to his married life, with extended separations of sea cruises. When Mallick's four-year Navy commitment was up in September 1954, both he and his wife decided it's best for him to leave the active duty part of the service, but remain in the active Navy Reserve, so he could continue flying. At this time, Mallick re-enrolled in school and joined the Aeronautical Engineering Department at the University of Florida. College years The next few years at the University of Florida were more comfortable than the first two years at Penn State. Mallick was married, was provided a veterans? apartment, had a wife who was working, and just gained a new addition to the family - a daughter named Sandra Lee Mallick. Once a month, Mallick drove to the Jacksonville Navy base, and blew the ?cobwebs of study? out of his head by flying the F9F-6 Cougar aircraft as part of his duties in the Navy Reserve. When Mallick showed up at class one day with an almost new Buick, his professor accused him of being a professional student, who could not afford to leave school. Mallick proved this professor wrong when he graduated with honors, in June 1957, from the University of Florida. Immediately afterwards, Mallick was lucky enough to obtain a flying position with what was then called NACA (now NASA), at Langley, Virginia. NACA/NASA Langley, VA Mallick first joined NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1957, at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory (later redesignated Langley Research Center), Hampton, VA, as a research pilot. When Mallick joined the pilot program at Langley in June 1957, it turned into the busiest summer of his career. He was checked out in multiple types of aircraft as soon as he joined NACA, since the NACA office had a lot of different programs in the works, but was short on pilots. Mallick checked out in new fighter jets, helicopters, multi-engine aircraft, and even some VTOL test aircraft. During that period Mallick participated in numerous Very Short Take Off and Landing (VSTOL) type research programs, including the Vertical Take Off and Landing (VERTOL) VZ-2 aircraft. He also flew a small amphibian JRF aircraft that carried Fuming Nitric Acid to the launch facility, at Wallops Island, VA. It was a cargo that was not allowed to go through the tunnels, under Hampton Roads, and had to be delivered by air. The testing performed at now NASA Langley was primarily investigating and improving aircraft stability and handling qualities. Mallick conducted three programs that were considered of ?national interest? ?meaning other aviation organizations and the country would use the results: The F-86D wing shaker program - It took two years to prepare the aircraft, and three months to fly the program. It was an investigation of structural wing response to installed wing shakers, and the aircraft dynamics of high subsonic Mach flight .9 Mach. Large physical inputs at various frequencies were introduced to the wings, via the shaker weights installed. Some conditions resulted in so much aircraft motion that the instrument panel could not be read by the pilot. The F8U-3 Sonic Boom Program - NASA's first program to document the nature and strength of sonic booms that reached the gr.…
