I should read it again soon.
Read it years ago. A must read for anyone of isn’t sure what the term “American exceptionalism” actually means.
Absolutely agree! I was very disappointed that this book is not available in an electronic format, so I bought a used paperback copy that literally fell apart in my hands as I read it. Truly an American hero of the highest order.
Should be required reading in high schools.
May God Bless Chuck Yeager!
He’s no John Glen
I read it when I was a 20 something and still refer to specific sections of the book from time to time.
Most recently that I can remember I mentioned him jumping to a frozen beach in South Korea and bustin his ass.
I should read it again soon.
One of the best books ever. And true. He is an American genius and hero.

All right !!!
Obama is the Anti-Yeager
It’s hard to add to what’s already been said. It’s a great book. Everybody should read it. Guys will probably enjoy more than gals.

I’ve read it many times over the years. He has always been a hero of mine. I got to see him at the SHOT Show one year, standing there talking to a famous gun writer. I never felt the need for autographs or pictures, so just seeing him laughing with a friend was good enough. On the way to my pickup that afternoon, I found myself walking next to Joe Foss. He saw me looking and I simply told him thanks. He smiled and nodded.
A friend said Yeager used to come to a big ranch where he hunted, and would spend days flying ultralight aircraft, in mock dogfights with the hawks and eagles there.
Great book. Read it many years ago as a hand me down from my Dad.
Love the stories of his test pilot days.
Happy 92nd Birthday to Chuck Yeager.
