" "The secret to my success is that I always managed to live to fly another day." General Chuck Yeager, the greatest test pilot of them all .the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. the World War II fighting ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang. the hero who defined a certain quality that all the hot-shot flyboys of the post-war era aimed to achieve .Chuck Yeager is the right stuff. Now Chuck Yeager tells his whole incredible life story with the same "wide-open, full throttle" approach that has marked his career as a flier. He joined the Air Force at Eighteen, fresh out of high school. By tewnty-two he had risen through the ranks on the wings of his heroic exploits: his dogfighting over the flak-filled skies of Nazi Europe; his escape with the help of the French resistance after he was shot down over ocupied France; his determination to stay in the war and bring down as many German planes as he could, despite orders to send him home. But it was after the war in 1947 that Yeager captured world-wide recognition as the first test pilot to smash the sound barrier -- flying the supersecret Bell X-1 despite cracked ribs from a riding accident a few days before. This was truly the Golden Age of Aviation, the exciting leap into the supersonic era, and Chuck Yeager was there every step of the way. Through him we can relive those daredevil days when pilots either set records or drilled a hole in the desert -- when the tension of wondering whether you would be the next to die could always be worked off with some hard drinking and fighting at Pancho Barnees's notorious desert bar and ranch house. By the time he left Edwards Air Force Base in 1954 he was already a legend. But Chick Yeager kept on setting new standards of excellence, whether commanding a fighter squadron in Europe, flying tactical bombers in Southeast Asia, or supervising military defense in the Pakistan-India war. The story is all here, in Yeager's own words, and in wonderful reminiscences from his wife, Glennis, and those friends and colleagues who have known him best. Glennis's contributions to the book, as indeed to Yeager's life, are especially important for what they tell us about the day-to-day strain of living with a man who daily braved death in the skies. about the special kind of heroism it takes for a young woman to raise a family of four in the bleak Mojave desert in primitive makeshift lodgings. Chuck Yeager's exciting, entertaining and immensely revealing book is a one-of-a-kind portrait of a true America hero." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
