6. srpna 1947 uskutečnil Chuck Yeager svůj první let s experimentálním Bellem XS-1, později X-1. Šlo ještě o bezmotorový klouzavý let po vypuštění z upraveného B-29 nad Muroc Dry Lake. První motorový let následoval 29. srpna. #ChuckYeager #BellX1 #Muroc #aviationhistory

All we know about Morland Visel was that he was from Beverly Hills and had a lot of money. We have him running his 4-port Riley at #Muroc on May 15, 1938, as car number 160 but have no speed listed for him. (TDC_020)
