“Mr. Wachtel has shared his love of bygone days with viewers of The History Channel, co-creating the hit series “DogFights.” He has also written more than 100 televised episodes of dramatic fiction, including Fox’s live-action “Young Hercules” and animated hits like “Spider-Man” and “X-Men.”

Combining these two loves anew, along with his penchant for creating smart, strong and sexy heroines, has led to his premier novel… “Lady Sherlock: The Circle of the Smiling Dead.”

Faster Than The Speed Of Sound!

Today, October 14, in 1947 was the day that famed test pilot Chuck Yeager flew this very airplane, the Bell X-1, faster than the speed of sound. He reached 700mph at 43,000 ft. It was a speed that had seemed totally impenetrable until then. Yeager nick-named the plane “Glamorous Glennis” in tribute to his wife. This is the actual airplane as I photographed it at The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.
