Yeager : An Autobiography
reviewed What a Fascinating Life! on + 2 more book reviews


This book, an autobiography of Yeager's life, was a fascinating look into the time in our history when the discovery and advancement of military technology, especially jet technology, was a national priority. Individuals during that time who tested new jet technologies were demigods, highly revered for their roles in national military supremacy and for the danger that they accepted as part of their jobs.

Forget that the man was the first to ever break the sound barrier. Read this book because it is a fascinating story about a man and the dangers of his life as he chased a dream that he shared with many!
