This is an updated version to include my actual signature, located in the lower right corner. (Roylee (talk)) created the previous version en:File:World's First Five Spaceplanes.png. The revision by Roylee was created so that editors would not feel compelled to expand this diagram with later-built spaceplanes. Roylee added the annotation "First 50 years" to the original version, File:World's_First_Five_Spaceplanes.PNG.
