What WW2 plane broke the sound barrier?

Aaah, the good old days. When airplane noise was a good thing and being a
pilot was a novel and respected profession or avocation. Unlike today
when there are plenty of folks out there who'd legislate us out of "their"
skies in a minute...


Ask an old (subjective, sure) person about noise and they'll tell you about
when noise from trains was a welcome sign of the restoration of prosperity
after the Great Depression.
