by General Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos
General Chuck Yeager, the greatest test pilot of them all, tells his incredible life story, along with insights from his wife and those friends who have known him best. Read about what it was really like to engage in do-or-die dogfights over Nazi Europe, escape after being shot down over occupied France, or smash the sound barrier while suffering from several broken ribs. This is the personal and public story of a man who settled for nothing less than excellence, a one-of-a-kind portrait of a true American hero.
