You colored this airplane in the book – here you can find it as a model kit, model or movie. In the book on page 67.
The X-15 flew to the edge of space. A B-52 carried it to about 14 km (45,000 ft), then the rocket engine fired. It landed on a nose wheel and two skids at the rear; the lower tail fin was jettisoned first and floated to the ground on a parachute.
