Bell X-1

“In the rocket ship called the Bell X-1, men have flown hundreds of miles faster than sound.”

September 1950

From my Good Omens art journal. Collage, acrylic paint, gel plate printing, stickers.

"What's with the angel And what's with the devil They keep swapping shoulders And I can't tell which from which...

I caught them playing poker And I think it was the devil who said 'I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine' Yea, they keep swapping shoulders I think there's something going on 'Will you be my sweet pea? Will you be the card up my sleeve?' Says one to the other And this time they hold their gaze For too long

And now they're playing poker This time it's the angel who says 'I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine'

This is the story of the angel Who played poker with the devil In the Garden of Eden Before it all went pear-shaped

They said, 'I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine. I'll see your heart and I'll raise you mine'" -BellX1, "I'll See Your Heart and I'll Raise You Mine"

Farewell to Chuck Yeager, a real-life hero

Farewell to Chuck Yeager, a real-life hero

  Sadly, Charles Elwood Yeager passed on 7 Dec 2020, aged 97. Our condolences to his family and friends. As a youngster, I clearly remember reading about Chuck Yeager’s historical achievements as a test pilot and as the first person to fly faster than sound – in a Bell X-1 dropped from a B-29 Superfortress like a manned firework on wings. What I did not realise, and later found out, was that…

[grimm-reaper]

We lost a legend yesterday, General Charles “Chuck” Elwood Yeager. Chuck Yeager became an ace in WWII (Oct. 12, 1944), shooting 5 German planes down in 1 day and then shot 4 down in one day a month later. He totaled 13 confirmed shot downs of enemy aircraft during the war. He was the first man to break the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 on October 14, 1947, doing so with 2 broken ribs that he sustained the day before. And then in December 1953, piloting the X-1A, flew nearly 2 and 1/2 times faster than the speed of sound, setting a world speed record. He was a test pilot, flying more than 150 military aircraft and acquiring more than 10,000 flight hours. And although he wasn’t allowed to be one of the first astronauts in NASA’s Mercury program, due to not having a college degree, in 1962 he became commander of the school at Edwards Air Force Base that trained prospective astronauts. In 1975, he retired from the Air Force as a Brigadier General, being the highest decorated pilot in Ú.S. history. This man became a true legend in the world of aircraft and flight. Thank you for your contributions sir… You were the “Right Stuff!” #GeneralCharlesYeager #GeneralChuckYeager #general #CharlesYeager #ChuckYeager #TestPilot #pilot #WWIIAce #ace #HighestDecoratedPilot #legend #SoundBarrier #FasterThanTheSpeedOfSound #SpeedOfSound #BellX1 #X1A #TheRightStuff #RightStuff https://www.instagram.com/p/CIjQLePl5ux/?igshid=26it6nywy935

I've been rewatching The Right Stuff (the 1983 original) as research for a project. I'd forgotten how good it is... ----------------------------------------- #therightstuff #nasa #mercury #mercury7 #astronaut #pilot #aviator #chuckyeager #bellx1 #samshepherd #alanshepard #scottglenn #johnglenn #edharris #gordoncooper #dennisquaid #gusgrissom #scottcarpenter #jeffgoldblum (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYciulhO5m/?igshid=yhk4ruozzw31
