\t\"SoundMost people know the intrepid, and let's just say it totally ballsy, Chuck Yeager strapped himself into a plane with more engine than wings and successfully exceeded the speed of sound on October 14, 1947.<\/div>\n

\tWhat is less well known is that Yeager only got the chance to make the flight because Bell<\/a> Aircraft's test pilot refused the offer, without an accompanying $150,000.<\/p>\n

\tYaeger lived for speed, whether planes, cars, or horses and two nights before the Bell flight he fell from his favorite mount and broke two ribs.<\/p>\n

\tHe was so concerned he'd be scratched from the flight that he went to a distant veterinarian for medical treatment and told only his wife and best friend what happened.<\/p>\n

\tMost people know the intrepid, and let's just say it totally ballsy, Chuck Yeager strapped himself into a plane with more engine than wings and successfully exceeded the speed of sound on October 14, 1947.<\/p>\n

\tWhat is less well known is that Yeager only got the chance to make the flight because Bell<\/a> Aircraft's test pilot refused the offer, without an accompanying $150,000.<\/p>\n

\tYaeger could have cared less about the money, and jumped at the flight aboard Bell's X-1 that promised to hurl him through the air faster than any human ever before.<\/p>\n

\tYaeger lived for speed, whether planes, cars, or horses and two nights before the Bell flight he fell from his favorite mount and broke two ribs.<\/p>\n

\tHe was so concerned he'd be scratched from the flight that he went to a distant veterinarian for medical treatment and told only his wife and best friend what happened.<\/p>\n

\tBroken ribs hurt, a lot, and Yaeger was in so much pain he couldn't seal the X-1's hatch without help from a broomstick his buddy had rigged up beforehand.<\/p>\n

\t <\/p>\n

\tThat round of discomfort must have paled to what all that G-Force did to him as the X-1 reached a top speed of Mach 1.07.<\/p>\n

\tWe ran these photos early last summer, but in honor of Yeager's 65-year flight anniversary and, Felix Baumgartner, who will attempt to break Mach I without any aircraft at all today, we thought we'd run them again.<\/p>\n
