Britain being the first to break the sound barrier.

And they accuse Hollywood of "rewriting history..."

But Hollywood does rewrite history - as does everyone else in the
entertainment industry, wherever they are located. Of course, some examples
of rewriting are more egregious than others.

In fairness to The Sound Barrier, it wasn't billed as factual or based on
true story. It was a self-confessed piece of fiction which simply took
advantage of developments in aviation at the time and public interest
therein.

And the film was gracious enough to include, as part of the cast list, the
aircraft which featured in it (Comet, Attacker, Vampire and Swift).
