Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), silver letters, 342 pp. Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: 'The fastest man in the sky. a solid gold hero. the stuff of legend.' Chuck Yeager has been described as all these things and more. A double-ace fighter pilot in the Second World War, the first man to break the sound barrier, the most daring and courageous test pilot, whose exploits inspired The Right Stuff, and the most colourful character ever to rise to the rank of US brigadier general. Chuck Yeager's story is truly the stuff that dreams are made of. Fascinated by planes ever since he can remember, Yeager went straight from school to the US Air Force where, despite frequent brushes with the authorities for his hell-raising exploits, he quickly earned a reputation as one of the most skilled and fearless pilots. Within months of the USA entering the war, Yeager had scored no fewer than eleven Messerschmitts in one flight, and had a remarkable escape with the help of the French Resistance after he was shot down over occupied France. In 1947 Yeager, already famous, went on to become the first man to break the sound barrier in the super-secret Bell X-1 -- even though he had cracked ribs from a riding accident a few days before. He never looked back; his career as number one test pilot was an integral part of the supersonic era -- and littered with extraordinary narrow escapes, though his courage and feel for aeroplanes never let him down. It was a life where pilots either set new records or drilled a hole in the desert. And the tension of such endless strain could sometimes only be relieved with all-night drinking sessions at Pancho Barnes' -- the Madame with the raunchiest bar room in the West and a great friend of Yeager's. After he left Edwards Air Force Base in 1954 Chuck Yáger went 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. Yeager is the story of an extraordinary life, told to Leo Janos in the man's own inimitable 'ho-holds-barred' style. Throughout, Yeager's knowledge and love of planes shines through, as does his great love for Glennis, his wife. And it is through her eyes, as well as through the eyes of friends and colleagues that we come to know Yeager the man: literally a legend in his lifetime.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Fine unread condition beige boards with a black cloth spine and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Index; and About Leo Janos. Illustrated with three sections of black-and-white photographic plates. The lower front left jacket edge has a 1/2 inch repaired closed tear (see photographs); the jacket is otherwise in fine condition. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). " "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.
