On March 4th, 1944, a 19-year-old pilot named Chuck Yeager did something the flight manuals said was impossible. On his very first combat mission, he pushed his P-51 Mustang into a terminal velocity dive to chase a German Focke-Wulf 190.

In this documentary, we reveal how this single act of "recklessness" exposed a flaw in Allied doctrine and unlocked the true potential of the P-51 Mustang. For years, American pilots were told never to exceed 450 mph due to "compressibility" fears. The Luftwaffe knew this and used the power dive as a "get-out-of-jail-free" card.

Discover how Yeager's intuition and raw skill proved the experts wrong, shattered the German defensive strategy, and turned the P-51 into the apex predator of the European skies.
