Goodlin has signed this nice 8x10 black and white photo of him exiting the X-1 after a flight.� Wearing his “reconstituted” football helmet, he was the 2nd pilot to fly the X-1, but the first to fly it in powered flight.� Was he the first to fly mach 1?� He was certainly most likely to have before Yeager, since now we know there is no barrier per se, but he never claimed it and there is no proof.� We lost this aerospace giant some years ago, and this photo was from his personal collection, as evidenced by the stamp on the versa.� � If bidding on other items please wait for an invoice as I can combine shipping.
