I saw the first picture a while back and I posted it a day or two ago and thought the responsible thing to do was do a little research since I didn't know who Miss 'Sonic Boom' was.
Actress Debra Paget was in Las Vegas in March of 1955 and when asked if she would like a tour of nearby Nellis AFB, she couldn’t resist. (Obviously, she told them that she would only take part in the tour if she could wear a bathing suit and high heels.) Upon her arrival, the Nellis pilots immediately named her “Miss Sonic Boom.”
Miss Paget/Sonic Boom was quite the starlet back in the day, featuring in films like The Ten Commandments, and did a movie opposite Elvis.
