Oct 14, 1947 - U.S. Air Force Captain Charles Yeager rode the X-1, attached to the belly of a B-29 bomber, to an altitude of 25,000 ft. over dry Rogers Lake in California. After releasing from the B-29, he rocketed to an altitude of 40,000 ft. and became the first person to break the sound barrier.


Let it not be said that we did nothing.
But what I do I do because I like to do
