After becoming a Fighter Ace in World War II; Chuck Yeager was a test pilot and flew the Bell XS-1 which was built to try to fly faster than the speed of sound.
The Bell XS-1 had what was referred to as a "flying tail" so that the shock wave (caused by flying in the trans sonic region), which formed on the hinge of the horizontal stabilizer, would not disable the controls.
Chuck Yeager was traveling at about 740 miles per hour when he broke the sound barrier. This speed is also known as Mach 1.
No one's really sure how many times Chuck Yeager flew faster than the speed of sound, but the first time he tried it he did it.
