New York, N. Y.: Bantam Books. Very Good- with no dust jacket. N.D.. Reprint; Sixth Printing. Paperback. Creases on and either side of the spine. Bumped corners. Some shelf wear. ; Mass Market PB; 1.06 x 6.87 x 4.19; 448 pages; People who know nothing else about aviation know that it was Chuck Yeager who broke the sound barrier. Those who have read Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff also know he did it with broken ribs from a nocturnal horse race. Readers of this engrossing work will find these circumstances typical of the way Yeager has always done things. In matter-of-fact language that covers both suspenseful flying descriptions and high times with drunken flying buddies, Yeager holds one's attention with ease. Now Chuck tells his whole incredible life story with the same "wide-open, full throttle" approach that has marked his astonishing career. The entire story is here, in Yeager's own words, and in wonderful insights from his wife and those friends and colleagues who have known him best. 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. .
