Faster than Sound documentary in Miles M.52 article
Here is a quote from the televsion documentary. It may be controversial, it still represents a valid reference source. STACY KEACH (NARRATOR): For 50 years, the cancellation of the M-52 has been the subject of argument and secrecy. Ben Lockspieser was the civil servant who abandoned the project. He said it was too dangerous. The reasons why he came to this decision are only now becoming clear. At the end of the war, Lockspieser accompanied a number of British and American scientists who visited a secret aircraft research laboratory near Munich in Germany. All that remains today is the blocked-up entrance. But some of Germany's most talented aircraft designers once worked here—on designs that convinced Lockspieser the M-52 would never break the sound barrier. Bzuk 03:45 7 February 2007 (UTC).

Faster than Sound documentary in Miles M.52 article "But some of Germany's most talented aircraft designers once worked here—on designs that convinced Lockspieser the M-52 would never break the sound barrier." He was led to believe that a plane with straight wings (as opposed to swept wings) couldn't break the sound barrier. Except that was a load of BS, as the X-1 had straight wings. German engineers also had no experience with the wing type the M52 was fitted with. And all experimental aircraft were dangerous at that time. While this might be a public excuse, I do not believe this does not explain the actual reason why he canceled the M52 project. Or why the project wasn't reinstated when the Bell X-1, and later rocket tests, showed it could be done. Britain was after all actively researching supersonic flight at the time. I appreciate how stupid politicians can be, but there are usually non-technical political considerations around such cancellations.ANTIcarrot 12:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Again, the fact that the M.52 is linked with the Bell X-1 and is given credence as a pioneering effort in the PBS documentary is suffficient to have its link established in the article. Bzuk 12:45 7 February 2007 (UTC).
