What is Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1 : breaking the sound barrier about?

"Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1: Breaking the Sound Barrier tells the story behind the endeavor to fly supersonically and the legends of aviation - both the people and aircraft - that made it possible. Written by authorities on aeronautics, aviation, and rocketry from the National Air and Space Museum, it presents an insider's view of one of the most significant achievements of the twentieth." The book describes the many unknowns of supersonic flight at the time - creating an aircraft that could withstand such high speeds without breaking apart and developing a propulsion system that would not explode. Historical black-and-white and full-color photographs and illustrations accompany the text, both of which bring to life the events that forever changed the course of flight, gave the United States a military advantage for years to come, and helped propel humans into space.
