Gen. Yeager did his sound barrier thing during the month and year I was born. Growing up in the LA suburb of Burbank, CA, I recall as a kid on the playground at school looking to the north and seeing white lines in the sky. I watched these lines extend in slow motion. Every once in a while, if the wind was blowing the right direction, we would hear a muffled explosion. Had no idea about those sonic booms until we heard about it on the radio. By the time I enlisted in the Air Force in 1966, Chuck Yeager was a household name without knowing of his beyond-belief WWII escapades. Yeah, I became an AC Delco fan because of him. If you have heard him speak, you can "hear" him narrating this book. The additional insights from his wife, Glennis, as well as his friends and colleagues add dimension and validity to his words. This book was written by a pilot, who loves to fly. It is written in a polished down-home, backwoods dialect that is so endearing. It is no wonder that just about every fighter pilot that has come down the pipe has tried to emulate that soft West Virginia twang. Gen. Chuck Yeager is a legend. We are privileged to read his story in his own words.

As an USAF veteran and a Apollo 11 worker I appreciate Chuck"s contribution to the space program and as an American I admire and respect his service in defense of freedom and America. He deserves our admiration and has mine.
Fantastic book! Well written and very informative. I learned a lot I did not know about one of our true American heroes.
Great read and a fine example of leadership.
