Examples of applying X-rays to inspection of DC-6 and DC-7 aircraft structural components at Delta Air Lines; tests of fuselage frame, horizontal stabilizer, oil coolers, lubrication tanks, fuel injection lines, honeycomb panels and fuselage circumferentials and stringers are reported; method described is pointed out as indispensable aid in locating and determining extent of incipient failures in structure which is inaccessible by position or covered by multiple layers of metal.
