Well, I can't find it on line, but it was in todays' Times...  apparently
the Me 262 was the first plane to break the sound barrier.  This old guy,
Hans Guido something, he's 79 now, was an Me 262 pilot, and he made a
screaming dive to join a dogfight and his speedo jammed at 1100 kph, and
rivets started flying out of his wings etc...  Can anyone find something on
line to back this up?
