Yeager's Conquest - Mach 1
by Roy Grinnell
| Chuck Yeager's historic flight on October 14, 1947 when he broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 at Muroc in the California High Desert. |
| The print is conservation mounted to include the original signatures of Chuck Yeager and back-up pilot Bob Hoover. Hoover came close to being the first to break the sound barrier as two nights before the mission Yeager had broken two ribs in a riding accident, however Yeager didn't mention the incident to avoid being replaced for the sound barrier attempt. Hoover did fly the chase plane on the mission. Also included in the mount are original USAF pilot wings. |
