Best Answer

The first official record of a manned supersonic flight was Charles Yeager flying the Bell X-1 on October 14, 1947. There is a "plausible" claim that George Welch actually beat Yeager by two weeks in an XP-86 Sabre, but that run was not officially monitored so it isn't considered "official."
