ABOUT
Autobiography of General Chuck Yeager who was the greatest test pilot of them all.
Yeager was the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound and the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang, the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff.
Now he tells his whole incredible life story with the same “wide-open, full throttle” approach that has marked his astonishing career. What it was really like engaging in do-or-die dogfights over Nazi Europe. How after being shot down over occupied France, Yeager somehow managed to escape. The amazing behind-the-scenes story of smashing the sound barrier despite cracked ribs from a riding accident days before.
Includes monochrome images.
