Product Information

 Photo of the X-1E with pilot Joe Walker suited up at the NASA High-Speed Flight Station, Edwards, California. The dice and "Little Joe" are prominently displayed under the cockpit area. (Little Joe is a dice player's slang term for two deuces.)

 Five years later when Walker reached 354,200 feet in the X-15, that aircraft carried similar artwork  "Little Joe the II." Walker is shown in the photo above wearing an early partial pressure suit. This protected the pilot if cockpit pressure was lost above 50,000 feet.
