"In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Langley Field on July 29, 1940. President Roosevelt sits in a car inside a NACA hangar, two unidentified men stand behind the car, and the wing of a plane is visible in the background."

This quotation is related to the first pic below. The history of NACA is an informativ as well as educational read. I suggest to wait for a rainy weekend or a sleepless night.
To picturize the ensemble I added two images, found on ebay.

quotation and image #1 - space.com
images #2 & #3 - eBay item numbers: 381176333455 & 370959103498
