That, Lieutenant reported, produced an "un- tisfactory condition," adding: "My body wai pushd back the rear armor and 1 had a feeling that any second the plane waa going to pull away from rne and leave me atranded right there, five miles above ground. It's a breathless feeling, your stomach curls up; It's something like stepping from a hot shower to a cold one." Both resorted to the emergency cranks to move elevator tabs. "When I rolled back on the tabs," Lieutenant Corn.stock said, "the plane shuddered as though it had been hit by a truck. Frankly, I wondered whether the tail section was still there, but the ship was as well knit as the Siamese Twins." Both were credited with officially listed speeds of 725 miles an hour.

The speed of sound at sea level is 736 miles an hour, but decreases as the density of air increases at higher altitudes. Both pilots reported that they retained mental clarity during the dives. Both pilots became air cadets in 1941. Lieutenant Comstock is from Fresno, and Lieutenant Dyor is from Lowell, Ohio. Two Army Men Dive Planes at Speed of 725 Miles an Hour.

3- --How two Army lieutenants dived their fighter planes at a speed of 725 miles an hour--more than 12 miles minute and faster than the high-altitude speed of sound was disclosed yesterday. A bystander, if there could have been one, would have seen the, plane streak by before he heard their thunderous roar. The terrific speed perhaps faster than any human being has traveled before--froze their control sticks, the reported, causing them to resort to the use of emergency cranks to move the elevator tabs and pull their ships out of the dives. Here's the story, publication of which the Republic Aviation Corporation said was approved by the War Department: Lieutenant Harold Comstock and Lieutenant Roger Dyar, both 22, went aloft in Republic P-47 Thunderbolts November 15 for horizontal speed runs at 35,000 feet, then at 30,000 and at fcfct.
