...Bell YP-59A, determined to fly higher than any pilot from the rival Army Air Corps had flown. "I reached 46,000 ft., and that might have been a world record. Nobody knows, because it was wartime." As planned, he used all his fuel to reach maximum height, then started to glide back home. Engineers had calculated that the engine would "windmill" during descent and thus turn the generator to supply power to lower the landing gear. "Well, it didn't happen that way," Halaby recalls.

If you had kept your mouth...
