(First Answer)Captain (later colonel) Charles "Chuck" Yeager flew the Bell X-1 faster than the speed of sound to become the first pilot to do so. "Glamerous Glennis" rocketed past the sound barrier on 14 October, 1947.
actually several pilots during world war 2 broke the sound barrier in mustangs and ligtnings and possible other high performance fighters when they went into a dive at full speed - unfortunetly those planes were not designed to do so and broke up so noone survived
