My sister was part of Public Relations at Edwards back when he visited the place in later years. She handled all kinds of requests, including requests for his autographed picture. He was long gone when the requests came in, so she signed his name and sent them off.

Days later she realized she had spelled his last name “Yaeger”. Nobody ever complained.

Great story! Thanks Oatka.

If we ever see a Chuck Yeager autograph appear on the pawn-show, and they discover it is spelled wrong...we'll know why! LOL

Well, that was a bit closer to the German original.
