This 1957 video is of the spin-recovery parachute tests of the Lockheed F-104B airplane. The model used is 1/25th-scale. Tests are conducted at the NACA 20-Foot Free-Spinning Tunnel, now know as the NASA Langley Research Center's 20-Foot Spin Tunnel.
For more on this facility and other tests conducted there, see http://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/historic/645.
