Discover the wit and wisdom of Chuck Yeager, the legendary pilot and New York Times #1 best-selling author, who sold over 1.2 million books. Known as the original badass, fighter ace, and test pilot, Yeager's legacy as a "pilot’s pilot" and a true American hero endures. Alongside his favorite wingman, Victoria, this book delves into the life of a man admired by both men and women alike. Explore why the new Top Gun movie, Maverick, pays homage to Chuck Yeager. His daring feat of breaking the sound barrier paved the way for space exploration. Yeager's remarkable journey from the hollers of West Virginia, escaping the Gestapo, and becoming a WWII fighter ace, showcases his extraordinary courage and resilience. Philip Kaufman, director of The Right Stuff, described Yeager as the "Ace of Aces," a man who challenged the skies and was the first to poke a hole in the sky. He was both a steely-eyed, straight shooter and a fun-loving individual who embraced the Pursuit of Happiness. Thanks to Victoria Yeager, this book captures his enduring wit and wisdom. Gerald McRaney, actor and outdoorsman, recounts his awe at meeting Yeager and his lasting friendship with the legendary aviator. This book offers a glimpse into Yeager's humor and the profound impact he had on those around him. Rabbi David Wolpe, named America's top rabbi by Newsweek, praises the book for capturing Yeager's astonishing courage and timeless wisdom. As Yeager himself said, "Everyone’s got a job to do, son." He did his, superlatively well, and Victoria Yeager shares his story in his own words. Read, learn, and be inspired by the life of a true American hero.
