Bell X-1 Rocket Plane Model Aircraft Signed By Chuck Yeager

Signed Danbury Mint X-1 Research Model

On October 14, 1947, the Bell X-1 became the first airplane to fly faster than the speed of sound. Piloted by U.S. Air Force Capt. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager, the X-1 reached a speed of 1,127 kilometers (700 miles) per hour, Mach 1.06, at an altitude of 13,000 meters (43,000 feet). Yeager named the airplane "Glamorous Glennis" in tribute to his wife.
10 1/2 " wingspan x 12 3/4" long

Beautiful model - the only blemish is both wingtip needles have broken off, otherwise spectacular piece of history.
