This is a framing set of an X-1 stamp signed by Brigadier General Chuck Yeager and a photo of him, released by old the Real McCoys for the 50th anniversary of the 1997 breaking of the sound barrier. This is a very collectible item. It is in very clean condition.

Charles Elwood Jaeger, a.k.a. Air Force Brigadier General Chuck Jaeger, is the former U.S. Air Force Brigadier General who was the first person in human history to break the speed of sound barrier, Mach 1, with the X-1 in 1947. The XA-1, which is used as a postage stamp, was developed during WWII as part of the X-1 Project, which was launched to achieve Mach 1 flight, and was developed by the U.S. Army Air Corps and Navy Air Corps, which at the time were behind in jet engine development (the predecessor of NASA). It is famous as the first manned sonic flight in human history. At that time, the test pilot who achieved the first manned sonic flight was Air Force Brigadier General Chuck Jaeger. In the movie "The Right Stuff," the scene where he exceeds the Mach 1 barrier is famous, but the legendary fighter pilot and test pilot who achieved a very important feat in American aviation and space development is Brigadier General Chuck Jaeger. This is an item of great historical value. Both items were actually hand-signed by Brigadier General Jaeger.
