Brash and brimming with courage, Chuck Yeager burst onto the scene as a national hero in 1947, when he became the first to fly an airplane faster than the speed of sound. Just a few years earlier, Yeager was a fighter ace in the U.S. Army Air Force, flying a P-51 Mustang over Nazi-occupied Europe. Telling a remarkable story, Don Keith recounts how Yeager was downed in France and aided by the Resistance, later demanding that Eisenhower allow him to return to the skies.
