Product History:
On Tuesday morning, October 14th, 1947 history is being made. From the airstrip at Muroc Army Air Field, a B-29 takes off into the cool desert sky carrying beneath it the Bell X-1 # 46-062.
At about 10:30am the X-1 drops from the B-29 and rapidly climbs to an altitude of 40,000 feet. Soon after it bursts thru the sound barrier for a speed of Mach 1.06, the first manned aircraft
to do so! However, this exciting news is kept secret for over two months, and the public does not find out about the historic event until December 22nd!
