Correct answer: Chuck Yeager

Born in the small community of Myra, Chuck Yeager achieved his historic supersonic flight in the Bell X-1 experimental aircraft, which he nicknamed Glamorous Glennis after his wife. Remarkably, he flew that day with two broken ribs from a horseback riding accident, using a broom handle to help seal the cockpit hatch.
