Retired Brigadier General Chuck Yeager is a living aviation legend. A legend who shot down 5 enemy airplanes in one mission, was shot down himself, evaded capture and returned to the UK to be told he had to go home. Yeager was not finished fighting and took his case to General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ike was impressed by the young Pilot Officer who refused to go home. Yeager went on to set many aviation records including being the first man to break the sound barrier in the Bell XS-1. I guarantee that if you buy or read this book, you will come back and read it again and again. The book is written in such a way that even if you are not interested in aviation you will be drawn in by reading this book. Yeager an Autobiography has "other voices" mini interviews with friends and former collegues such as Maj. Gen. Fred J. Ascani, General Albert Boyd, Colonel C.E. "Bud Anderson and also that of General Yeager's wife Glennis. If you only ever read one biography, make it Yeager.
