When Yeager flies the X-1 on its record-setting flight, he wears a WWII-type soft flying helmet. In fact, Yeager wore a football-like hard helmet. Also, Yeager is shown flying the X-1 with a control yoke. Actually, the X-1 was equipped with a stick.The last sentence above is incorrect. The X-1 was NOT equipped with a stick. It did indeed use an H-shaped control yoke. Later variants, the X-1A and X-1B (not depicted in the film), used a control stick.
