A 10 minutes short movie about a pilot trying to break the sound barrier.
Very good scenes on computer graphics using T33 Shooting Star, Bell X1, and B29.
I cannot tell you the story, because otherwise you will not enjoy it totally.
But really it’s worth ten minutes of full attention, also in case English is not your mother language

Nice film Bear. Do you what Skunk Works is? I have read a book about their attempts. Im not sure if the plane was YP-143, but it wasnt the only accident, many excellent pilots died there…
"There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier".
If you are interested in the whole story of the flight development from the sound barrier break to the space, I reccommand you watch the movie “The Right Stuff”. You can easily find it in DVD (maybe also using Torrent)
There is also a book with the same title.
Actually, The Right Stuff is the story about the first seven Mercury astronauts.
As the US government wanted pilots on top of the tube stuffed with dangerous explosives,
the story starts with the failure to break the soundbarrier,
followed by the succesful flight of Yeager.
Well, actually it starts with the quote Bear posted 
The film is very good told and beautifully filmed.
It is based on Tom Wolfe’s book which is just one to read!
Tone of film nicely matches book’s tone.
Let me clarify this for DrAce: As the US government wanted pilots on top of the tube with the Right Stuff, Hence the name of the movie… :rolleyes:
