Meeting the Challenge of MACH I 

Produced in 1997 by the Edwards History Office, we reshare this video as we approach the 70th anniversary of the first time the sound barrier was broken in level flight right here at Edwards Air Force Base! This video covers the challenges of breaking the sound barrier. Narrated by then Edwards Historian Dr. Jim Young, this video also includes interviews with Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager and historic imagery.
