Read Yeager... You won't regret it 
Q fr @jgrahamthomas How many times did you fly the X1 before breaking the sound barrier? The Right Stuff makes it seem like you broke it on your 1st flight A: Hollywood make-believe. I had some unpowered flights & exceeded MACH 1 on my 9th powered flight. http://www.chuckyeager.com/1945-1947-mach-buster …

It makes sense that in the film Ridley said, “All right boys, here we go again”!

Did your first solo flight before you got your pilots license go smoothly or any story to tell there? For instance I came close to a stall upon 1st landing subsequent go arounds were fine.

But you still strapped on a rocket time after time. Just in awe of your attitude as a test pilot during this time. Bravo sir!

Q: what changes, if any, were made to the X-1 between the first and ninth powered flights? Also, was the X-1’s speed limited by thrust or stability?
