Look at all those pictures on Poncho's wall. That is the kind of dedication we had back then. I keep wondering what Elon's going to do after the first time he kills someone. .

Design stolen from the British , the Miles M52. The Americans came and viewed it . Shortly after the British government shut it down and a couple of years later this happened .

British BS. Miles never made the M-52.The only thing Miles ever built was a Ply-wood mock-up.

One of the issues with this movie is the fact that they keep alternating between a blue sky with a contrail, to the X-1 flying through clouds. The director was trying to impart the concept of the X-1's speed by showing it pass through clouds. It's a terrible continuity problem they duplicated when Yeager went up in the F-104 Starfighter "Special". One moment its clear, next moment he is flying through clouds, then he is at the high altitude and he is still encountering clouds. But when they pick him up in the ambulance, there isnt a cloud in the sky. An indication that the director didn't know what the flyers environment is, or just a moment where art was more important than accuracy.

I always respected Mr. Yeager; he lived just North of where I lived in Grass Valley, California. I lived in Auburn, California. I appreciate that he broke the sound barrier however, in 2003 on the 11th day of October I saw a flying saucer just North of Auburn in the morning. It hovered in one spot, rocked a bit then went very fast towards the Eastern horizon in about 4 seconds. It didn't make a sound. Since that day my perception of flying has changed dramatically.

After some famous pilots from other countries DIED trying to break the sound barrier in a Dive, Larry Bell designed the X-1 with enough power to do it in a shallow climb!! That way, if there was an issue all the pilot had to do was cut power and the climb would reduce the speed! (Whereas in a dive, gravity could result in eery increasing speed!!!

This is the time when men WERE men and women were women. You didn't have to have a psychology degree to tell the difference. You didn't have to ask: "what is a women?" You knew. And men like Chuck Yeager helped put Armstrong on the surface of the moon. We couldn't do that today!

Yeager needed the broomstick to close the hatch because he had broken a rib. Had he reported the injury to the flight suergon he would have been grounded, and welll - pilots dont like being stuck on the ground.

My father’s boss was the son of aviation pioneer Ben Epps. He recently retired and gave those who worked with him for so long, including my father, some things he kept in his office. Among them was a model of the X-1, signed by Chuck Yeager himself only 3 years before his death. Knowing that I love aeronautics as much as he does, my father passed it down to me. It’s one of my most prized possessions.
