William "Pete" Knight
The Fastest Man That Ever Flew
Pepsi GMT-Master
I am working on an update to my story on William "Pete" Knight, who became the fastest man that ever flew when he set the all-time speed record flying an X-15 at Mach 6.7 while wearing his Pepsi GMT, which is pictured below in the photo on his wrist taken on June 22, 1967 several months before he set this record. This photo was sent in by Philipe from Moon Watch Universe.
