Synopsis
Challenging the accepted story of the X-1 (the world's first supersonic aircraft), this book describes the complete history of the X-1 programme - from the origins of high-speed research in the 1930s to Chuck Yeager's pioneering flight through the sound barrier on 14 October, 1947. The author examines the complex factors that shaped the process of breaking new ground in aviation research and details each of the 50 test flights of the X-1. The book includes previously unpublished material, rare photographs, interviews with the participants, and original NACA, Air Force and Bell Aircraft archival files.
