I thought it was all to do with the all flying tail that Miles aircraft developed and given to the Americans in exchange for their research, which they subsequently declined to give us.
As for Chuck Yeager didn't he fail to get into the space program so tried to put the 104 into orbit, ran out of air and flamed out?
