Aug 29, 1947: My 1st powered flight in the Bell X-1. Neat airplane to fly. A bit cold w/ liquid oxygen at your back. http://www.chuckyeager.com/1945-1947-mach-buster … #BellX1, @Gild @ParisMatch @MiamiHerald @smh @voguemagazine @USArmy @usairforce @DailyMailUK @HISTORY @NASM @EdwardsAFB @USAToday @USNavy
Fr Mrs. Yeager: False and double hearsay. Doesn't make sense either. After the Kennedy Admin insisted Gen Yeager catapult Dwight ahead of 10 more qualified pilots, Gen Yeager & his team spent extra time tutoring Dwight to get him graduated. And he did graduate.
