**US test pilot Chuck Yeager, the first person to break the sound barrier, has died aged 97, his wife says.**

In a tweet, Victoria Yeager wrote: "It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET."

Yeager went into the history books after his flight in the Bell X-1 experimental rocket plane in 1947.

En legendarisk flygare! Ett ombytligt liv och en hög ålder för en testflygare.
Han hann med att bomba i Vietnam också, ser jag ...
