Yeager (1985) Signed by Chuck Yeager
 
Now Chuck Yeager tells his whole incredible life story with the same wide-open, full throttle approach that has marked his astonishing career. What it was really like enaging in do-or-die dogfights over Nazi Europe. How after being shot over occupied France, Yeager somehow managed to escape. The amazing behind-the-scenes story of smashing the sound barrier despite cracked ribs from a riding accident days before.
 
He flew the Bell X-1 rocket 670 mph in level flight in October 1947. Yeager held various Air Force Command assignments from 1954 to 1962 and broke the sound barrier for the last time at age 74, when his F-15 Eagle reached a speed of Mach 1.45.
