Is this the same Col. Boyd that Chuck Yeager tells about in his book?

No. You're thinking of Maj. Gen. Albert Boyd. He was chief of the flight test division in 1947, when Yeager broke the sound barrier.

"You're thinking of Maj. Gen. Albert Boyd."

You're right. Thank you. I remember, now, that Yeager called him "Al" Boyd.
