4'x4' Supersonic Pressure Tunnel Staff
Mary Jackson appears in this photo as the first person in the front row right side. Mary Jackson began at Langley in 1951 as a computer. She was later assigned to work at the 4-Foot by 4-Foot Supersonic Pressure Tunnel where she worked with Kazimierz "Kaz" Czarnecki, who encouraged her to become an engineer. To attend the university extension engineering classes held at the then all-white Hampton Hight School, Jackson was required to petition the courts, which she did successfully. She became an engineer in the late 1950s.
