Guess you missed the "in an aircraft" part.
Yeager did not actually break the spund barrier, his aircraft did,he was a passenger.
Sneaky! I had answered true, not false. But indeed his body did break the speed of sound along with the aircraft. Still haven't answered my question about D 41 drones, which by the way is true, so I will hit you guys with another. The AGM 47 missile carried by the YF12A prototype was the direct ancestor of both the Phoenix AAM and the AAM carried by the Mig31 Firefox. True or False?
By the way, below is a picture of Yeagers X-1 right behind the Spirit of St. Louis.
