When WW2 broke out …
When WW2 broke out UK was still paying for US involvement in WW1. Then it took UK till 2006 to pay off WW2.For most of 20th c. US often used economic threats and false promises to force our loyal allies to give us all their hi-tech, Merlins, jets, nuclear, rocketry, aerodynamics, radar, computers, cavity wave magnetron, the list is endless. We also forced them to give up air and naval bases, and land around the world. We became great with UK and German technology and UK money. We owe big time!!!

Denis Bancroft …
Denis Bancroft invented the all-flying tail for the Miles M52. We realised that UK was just weeks away from going supersonic. Uk was bankrupt, and it had to pay us back for WW2 until Dec 2006, so our govt used this to force UK govt to close M52 project which was crated up and shipped to Bell, who could not yet deal with control/buffeting. 2 years later the Bell X1 broke the sound barrier. Miles was shut down. No disrespect to Bell/ Chuck Yeager, but folks should know the FULL story

I only wish that …
I only wish that Wolfe would have been more honest about Slick Goodlin. He portrays him as a money grubber demanding $150,000 for a single flight, when in fact he wanted to extend his existing contract at Bell for that amount. Goodlin flew 26 missions before the glory went to Yeager who was standing, in essence, on Goodlin’s shoulders. Slick deserved a whole lot better than he got.

U.S. efforts …
U.S. efforts progressed apace soon after Britain had disclosed all its research and designs to the U.S. government, on the promise that U.S. information would be shared the other way.The U.S. failed to disclose any information in return, stating the Pentagon had deemed the project Top Secret. They took the technological information provided by the British and began work on the Bell XS-1.

Why would the USA …
Why would the USA threaten their main ally in a time of unprecedented war-circa May-June 1944???It was a sly move by the States alright don’t get me wrong but the Miles Aircraft Company\British Government were idiotic to give away Top Secret information in the hope of something in return.”heres my lunch money now can I have yours please”!!!

No the British gave …
No the British gave them the research in the hope the USA would do the same which they did’nt.And if they both had the same research and the Brits were ahead of the game,,,,why didnt they go ahead and break the sound barrier??They had almost 2years scince they GAVE the reserch away anyway.
