October 14...Breaking the Speed of Sound (Chuck Yeager)

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 86. This time we examine the year 1947 as Chuck Yeager breaks the Sound Barrier.

Had software issues on this one so needless to say i am in the market for a new program.
