Описание: On January 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier aboard his Bell X-1. Twenty-nine years later, on January 21, 1976, Concorde, the first commercial passenger aircraft in international service to routinely operate at supersonic speeds, made its first scheduled flight. This book tells the story of this remarkable period in aviation history, including the technical achievements and the skill and ingenuity of the designers and engineers that made it all possible.
