On November 21, 1947, North American test pilot George Welch pushed the first XP-86 Saber through the sonic barrier, reaching Mach 1.02 in a shallow dive to become the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. He was told by the Army Air Force not to do it again but he later dove it to Mach 1.03. On the day the X-1 rocket plane was to be launched, Welch once again achieved the speed just 10 minutes before the X-1 was released for its record run.
