Scott Crossfield in front of an X-15.
He was the first person to fly faster than Mach 2.

Scott Crossfield symbolically hands over the keys to an X-15 to
another test pilot who also flew the X-15, and later made one
giant leap for mankind: Neil Armstrong.

Scott Crossfield's autobiography is highly recommended by the staff
of 101Bananas.com. It should be widely available at used book sites
on the Web. Try Alibris, Biblio, AddAll, etc.
