A forgotten X-Plane pilot, seems the only ones in memory are Yeager & Crossfield! Another, earlier X-2 days, pilot who should be honored, or at least remembered is:
Milburn G. “Mel” Apt (April 9, 1924 – September 27, 1956) was a US test pilot. He was killed in the destruction of the Bell X-2 during a test flight.
