General Chuck Yeager was the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. He was also the World War II fighting ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang. Chuck Yeager is "The Right Stuff".
This riveting autobiography reveals the fantastic career of Yeager, from the fresh eighteen-year-old who joined the US Air Force, the winged hero of dogfights over the skies of Nazi Europe, to the first test pilot to smash the sound barrier, flying the super secret Bell X-1, despite cracked ribs from a riding accident.
