Within the collection, there is material about the Bell X-2, the X-15 (Rocket aircraft), the SR-71 Blackbird (Jet reconnaissance plane), the Rockwell B-1 (Bomber), and many other types of experimental aircraft. Included are photographs of fellow Purdue University alumni and "America's No. 1 Spaceman" Iven C.

Also, in the collection are Bock's step-by-step instructions for President Ford's visit to Rockwell International and his tour of the B-1 bomber, along with corresponding newspaper articles.
