Such a bizarre notion deserves to be forgotten.

My father, Stan Smith, was project engineer on the Bell X-1. He and
another pioneer glider pilot, Bob Stanley, headed the design team. They
were talented engineers and aerodynamacists, not "re-badgers." I'm
sorry to see their integrity impugned on R.A.S.
