The Supersonic Split: Oklahoma City's Booming Controversy, 1964-01-01 - 1964-12-31

Oklahoma City has become a testing ground for supersonic air transport, causing controversy among residents. Some claim property damage and health issues from the booms, while others believe it will bring prosperity. Experimental flights are creating noise and vibrations, with the Chamber of Commerce supporting the project. The Federal Aviation Authority is trying to address concerns and determine the maximum over-pressure people on the ground should be subjected to.
