Yeager: An Autobiography
- The Right Stuff
- Fighter Pilot
- Test Pilot
- American Hero
- Dogfight
General Chuck Yeager was the greatest test pilot of them allâ‚¬"the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound . . . the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang . . . the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff.

Now Chuck Yeager tells his whole incredible life story with the same "wide-open, full throttle" approach that has marked his astonishing career.Â Â What it was really like enaging in do-or-die dogfights over Nazi Europe.Â Â How after being shot over occupied France, Yeager somehow managed to escape.Â Â The amazing behind-the-scenes story of smashing the sound barrier despite cracked ribs from a riding accident days before.

The entire story is here, in Yeager's own words, and in wondeful insights from his wife and those friends and colleagues who have known him best.Â Â It 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.
