Neil Armstrong - His First Flight In a Rocket-Powered Aircraft
Time: Thursday Aug 15, 1957
Place: Edwards Air Force Base, California, U.S.
Details: His first flight in a rocket-powered aircraft was on August 15, 1957, in the Bell X-1B, to an altitude of 11.4 miles (18.3 km). On landing, the poorly designed nose landing gear failed, as had happened on about a dozen previous flights of the Bell X-1B.
