Book Review

  Yeager

by General Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos
Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc.
ISBN: 0-553-05093-1

Here you have the almost incredible life story of the first man to fly faster than
the speed of sound, the flying ace who shot down an enemy jet from a prop–driven
plane, the true American hero they call the greatest test pilot there ever was.
Yeager tells it all . . . in his own words. It’s exciting, it’s informative, it’s laced with
humor and terrifically entertaining.
This is the most enjoyable history lesson you’ll ever get. You’ll find out what really
went on as man made the leap into the supersonic age. He takes you there.
This is an adventure story that would captivate Indiana Jones, yet it’s not fiction. It’s
true. It’s the real stuff—the right stuff.
