Pilot Chuck Yeager is the man. Imagine punching in for work only to break the sound barrier in no less than a experimental craft. I don't know about you but when I push the outer envelope the severest injury I might occur is a paper cut!!
I'm super proud to offer this incredible collectible autographed by Chuck Yeager himself!
Craftsmanship that aims high!!

Working from exact blueprints, these replicas are sculptured by master craftsmen's, from selected specially treated mahogany wood. The models are made to recognized collector scales for enhanced value. After passing through several stages of sanding, priming, talented artists paint and detail each model with historically correct markings. This is followed by several coats of clear lacquer, making each replica a true work of art. Each model is supplied with a mahogany base for display and is adorned with a plate that reads...
Bell X-1 Rocket Research Plane
Piloted by Brig. Gen. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager, USAF (Ret)
On 14 October 1947 General (then Captain) Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager became the first person to fly faster then the speed of sound.

Famed as General "Chuck" Yeager's "Glamorous Glennis", accelerates toward Mach 1 on its epic flight. The aircraft's conical nose, modeled on the lines of a .50 caliber bullet, and the shock diamonds from its exhaust trail, can easily be seen.
