Yeager: An Autobiography
reviewed on + 220 more book reviews


Chuck Yeager is considered the greatest test-pilot of them all. He was the first man to break the speed of sound. He engaged in do-or-die dogfights over Nazi Europe, was shot down over occupied France and managed to escape, unflinching in every hazardous situation. A man who truly had "the right stuff."

Here, in his own words, is a one-of-a-kind portrait of a true American hero.
