Recognizes and honors the: (1) contributions of scientists and engineers of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)and its partners who pioneered the technologies to enable supersonic flight; and (2) bravery of Charles "Chuck" Yeager and the many other test pilots who, sometimes at the cost of their lives, enabled the aeronautics developments that made possible the first supersonic flight on October 14, 1947.
