Chuck Yeager

Chuck Yeager. Portrait of Charles Elwood 'Chuck' Yeager (1923-2020), the American who was the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. On October 14, 1947 Yeager flew a Bell X-1 aircraft at a speed of 1078 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 12,800 meters - equivalent to 1.015 times the speed of sound. Yeager had begun his career as a fighter pilot during World War II, destroying 13 enemy aircraft. He spent several years flying experimental aircraft, including the X-1. He then commanded fighter and test pilot units in Europe and America, eventually rising to the rank of Brigadier-General. He marked the 60th anniversary of his historic flight at Edwards Air Force Base in 2007.
