Possibly frost buildup from the freezing cold propellents used to fuel the motor? just a guess??

Sometimes Google will tell you things you just DON'T want to know... 1) "Bell X1" is now the name of a band of some sort... 2) I saw what you're talking about in one photo, but it wasn't a clear shot...what IS that? Next contestant, please... Signature- Rufus > what i want to know is what is that white irregular shaped area on the front > lower fusalage,that ive noticed in some dryden/nasa photos?????????,peeled > away skin/paint from friction or a few unlucky birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is ice and/or frost. Very similar to what builds up on rockets, before launch.

Very similar to what builds up on > rockets, before launch. Is this frost, or is the fairing just painted white?..or both?.. There is clearly something mounted to the bottom of the aircraft in any event: http://members.lycos.co.uk/derekhorne/yeagerx1.html In this photo, it looks as if the orange paint has peeled/burned away to reveal a white "primer", but it's hard to tell: http://members.lycos.co.uk/derekhorne/yeagerx1.html Signature- Rufus >>>what i want to know is what is that white irregular shaped area on the front >>>lower fusalage,that ive noticed in some dryden/nasa photos?????????,peeled [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > http://members.lycos.co.uk/derekhorne/yeagerx1.html I believe this is simply the "hump" that runs along the spine of the aircraft, both on top, and bottom. I have seen photos and/or illustrations, that show these "humps" to be painted white at some point. Plus, remember that there was more than one X-1 (three, I believe); and that their paint schemes changed over the course of their careers. For example, the "Glamorous Glennis" script obviously did not exist until Yeager was assigned to the project. > In this photo, it looks as if the orange paint has peeled/burned away to > reveal a white "primer", but it's hard to tell: > > http://members.lycos.co.uk/derekhorne/yeagerx1.html Hard to tell what this is. It "looks" like the orange paint peeling away...but that assumes that it was primed in white underneath. Note also the absence of the Bell Aircraft logo script. On Yeager's "Glamorous Glennis" version, this logo was on the left side nose, extending to just beyond the front of the canopy framing. This illustrates the aforementioned variations in paint jobs, and/or differences between the three X-1's. SignatureGreg Heilers Registered Linux User #328317 - SlackWare 9.0 In the book "The Quest for Mach 1", page 49, it shows them fueling the X-1 and there is most definitely frost on that area.

Both the upper & lower were painted white, along with the verticle fin, when I saw 6062 at NASM. David Called "Raceways" I do believe...
