The Brits believe that they first broke the sound barrier and that the movie "Breaking the Sound Barrier" is a true story.

I think they actually might have broken the sound barrier, going straight down, but P-51 pilots did it too. The controls stopped working, sometimes control surfaces tore off, sometimes entire wings tore off.
It was called “the compressibility problem.”
Those who survived described observing shock waves coming off wing roots and protuberances.
All the foreigners are upset because the eight years of President Fumblebutt are coming to an end.
He was good in the air. On the ground he has a reputation as “anything for a buck, Chuck”. Mostly a no class ass, rude to admirers, fans, etc.
Ask almost anyone in the aviation community.
Is he upset about the Brexit vote?
Right like that silliness about reversing the controls to come out of that dive. Yep. There’s a thing called cross-control but not like what they showed in that film.
Either he reads the comments section of The Guardian or he mingles with the audience during the intervals at The Royal Shakespeare Company.
Wonder what the souls of all those teenage kids and twenty-something who died to defend England would have to say about the Brits dissing us....
It was well know that Yeager really diding like the brits during ww2
The gist of this is..when deaing with the RAF that were very much an English gentleman Country Club...
They treated Yeager, a West Virginia country boy, as a dumb hillbilly and beneath them so it’s was very much a class thing
The comments over at the site are really funny. It seems the Brits have totally rewritten the history of World War II and our part in that war.
Let’s see . . . . Tina Brown . . . . . Anna Wintour. Yea. He’s right.
Sure, the Brits broke the sound barrier first as Geoffrey de Havilland did a power dive into the mud in 1946. All Yeager did was control his aircraft in supersonic flight and land alive.
I heard he was on Twitter and immediately started following him. He’s a hoot and a half.
They don't. Aviation histories from reputable British authors have always correctly credited the X-1. However, they also point out that many of the X-1's design features were anticipated in the remarkably similar-looking wartime Miles M 52, which was unfortunately cancelled without progressing beyond a 1/3 scale model- but not before the design data had been shared with Bell under a UK/US agreement.
Yeager’s book is very enjoyable. The only hint of bitterness was that he wasn’t selected to be an astronaut. His reason was he didn’t have a college degree. Perhaps his personality had something to do with that, too.
That would be George Welch, of Pearl Harbor fame.
One famous incident was the report of investigation on Yeager crashing an F-104. The conclusion effectively was that Yeager didn't know the airplane well enough to be pushing it as hard as he did. Yeager campaigned to ruin the career of the officer who ran the investigation.
He is pretty much right .... He forgot to add Stupid
Brits dumped Churchill after the war and threw open their gates of immigration to every former Empire 3rd World riff-raff that wanted to immigrate . They closed their eyes to the mortal dangers of self injecting the poison of Islam into their Anglo-Christian culture .
What made them so stupid ? Infatuation with socialistic. communistic Liberalism .
And we are now following these arrogant fools to the same demise
Well, they kinda are. Do they not think so?
