With lots of time for the past two months I read a lot. One was Aces Wild.
The year. 1947. The pilot. George Welch. The plane. XP86 Sabre. The test. Exceeding the speed of sound in a manned craft.

The first ba-boom! was heard over Pancho's bar near what was then called Muroc Air Base.

What a romantic period in aviation history.
