Britain's Forgotten Supersonic Breakthrough

Everyone knows Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1 shattered the sound barrier—but few realize Britain was poised to do it first. Meet the Miles M.52: a sleek, needle-nosed supersonic prototype that promised to revolutionize aviation. Conceived during the final days of World War II, this daring British design could have been the first aircraft to break Mach 1. But political shifts, secret data exchanges, and a controversial cancellation left the M.52 grounded—and handed the glory to America. In this episode, we’ll uncover the untold story of how Britain’s supersonic dream was quietly buried, how its groundbreaking designs shaped future jets, and whether the United Kingdom’s innovation was sacrificed for political alliances. Was it a necessary trade—or a betrayal of British brilliance? 🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth, well-researched aviation history every week. 💬 What forgotten aircraft would you like us to cover next?
