This story has zero technical information; nothing!

I don't think Me262 had enough power or right airframe design to go faster
than sound. One of the main problems with supersonic flight was elevator
reversal. Me262 don't have the right control surface. I think the jet
engine would have stall as speed increased to speed of sound do to shock
wave formation at the intake.

Do you know why there is no record? Every pilot who tried to fly faster
than sound is dead.

Someday the real history of Mach flight will be revealed as well as
the German disc aircraft programs of the Third Reich; that is,
whenever the US declassifies that info... or until 2020.
I'll wait it out just so people like Gordon and Al Minyard will have
to admit they were wrong. Can't wait until the first photos surface of
these craft in flight and/or the acknowledgement that the Me-262 broke
the sound barrier first in 1945.
Who will be red-faced then with embarassment and humiliation?
