After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force in 1941 and served as a flight officer in World War II (1939-1945). In 1943, he became a pilot in the fighter command of the Eighth Air Force stationed in England. He flew 64 missions over Europe and shot down 13 German aircraft. Yeager's courage was put to the test when his own plane was shot down during a mission over Germany. But, with help from the French underground, he escaped capture and returned to his unit. After the war, he became a flight instructor and a test pilot, serving as a captain in 1947. Chuck Yeager in flight school during World War II. Photo courtesy of the Air Force Test Center History Office. Yeager was chosen from several volunteers to test-fly the secret, experimental X-1 aircraft, built by the Bell Aircraft Company. The Bell X-1 was designed to test human pilots and fixed wing aircraft against the severe stresses of flight close to the speed of sound, and to see if a straight-wing plane could fly faster than the speed of sound (approximately 760 mph, in air at sea level). No one knew if a pilot could safely control a plane under the effects of the shock waves produced as the plane's speed neared Mach 1.

    Extractions: Read more stories from this October 1998 issue What does it take to be an ace fighter jock? No one knows better than General Chuck Yeager. During World War II, at age 21, Yeager shot down five German planes in one day. In 1947, he became the first pilot to shatter the sound barrier. That event, among others in his trail-blazing career, was immortalized in Tom Wolfe's best-selling book "The Right Stuff." In an interview, Yeager gave Fast Company the low-down on flying high. We've tried to understand what it's like to be a pilot by going through the Fighter Pilots USA program. You've been taken in. When you've been involved in the real thing, the play stuff doesn't cut it.

    Extractions: February 1991, Vol. 74, No. 2 By John L. Frisbee, Contributing Editor In every period of American aviation history there is one pilot who stands above the rest Rickenbacker , Lindbergh, Doolittle . In our time, no doubt the pilot best known throughout the world is retired Brig. Gen. Charles E. Yeager. Everyone with an interest in aviation knows that Chuck Yeager was the first to break the sound barrier, flying with two broken ribs that he concealed from the brass. The story of that historic flight and of an Air Force career lived near the edge is told in his autobiography, Yeager For first exceeding the speed of sound, Captain Yeager was awarded the MacKay and Collier Trophies and a special Congressional Medal of Honor. The "Valor" series couldn't be complete without a story on this extraordinary blue-suit test pilot who always will be the epitome of the gung ho fighter jock. Not so many know or remember that Chuck Yeager earned a place in this series as a 21-year-old flight officer. On March 5, 1944, while Yeager was flying his eighth mission with one victory already confirmed, an FW-190 nailed his P-51, Glamorous Glennis. (All his planes, including the X-1, were named for his wife, who, he says, would have made "one hell of a pilot.") Bits and pieces flying around the cockpit left their mark; nevertheless, he bailed out and hid in the woods near Bordeaux in southwestern France until he made contact with the French underground. For nearly a week the underground hid him in a hayloft, where he narrowly escaped discovery by a German patrol.

71. Chuck Yeager, A Tribute
    Bill's Aviation Room A Tribute to chuck yeager. chuck yeager, Mr. Speed. Itis a great privilege and honor to place chuck yeager on the Wall of Honor.  
    http://www.billblack.com/aviation/yeager.htm
    
    Extractions: Chuck Yeager, Mr. Speed. The first man to break the speed of sound. On October 14, 1947, over Rogers Dry Lake in California, Yeager immortalized himself by releasing his Bell X-1 rocket plane from the belly of the B-29 mother ship at an altitude of 25,000 ft. He then fired the rockets which would propel him to an altitude of 40,000 ft and a speed of 662 miles per hour. It was the day the world heard its first man made sonic boom. The government kept it secret for 8 month's before it told the world. He would later also become the first person to break the 1600 miles per hour mark. One of the most amazing but little known facts about this famous day in October 1947 is that Yeager had cracked three of his ribs the day before in a horse riding incident. He did not say anything about it for fear the flight would be scrubbed. The only person he told was his good friend Ridley who devised a method using the end of a broom handle by which Yeager could close the hatch without having to raise his arms above his head. A task he knew he would not be able to do with cracked ribs. Born in 1923 to a simple, but hard working family in West Virginia, Chuck Yeager was born to fly. Gifted with incredible eyesight of 20/10 and great hand eye coordination it is by no mistake that Yeager would be the first to fly faster than the speed of sound. He enlisted as a Private in the Army Air Corp in 1941. This brought him to the European theatre of operations in W.W.II as driver of the P-51 mustang. He flew 63 missions and was credited with 13 kills. He was also the first man to become an ACE in one day with 5 confirmed kills.

    Extractions: Chuck Yeager : "I was in a dog-fight with three 190s and I got hit head-on with a 20 mm cannon, and the prop came off the airplane, part of the wing, the canopy, and it caught on fire. So me and the airplane parted company. That's the way it happens. You bail out, you free fall in your parachute, and then when you get down to within three or four thousand feet of the ground, you pull the ripcord, the parachute pops and you land. That's about the way it happens."

    Extractions: Brigadier General (USAF Ret.) Charles E. Yeager - Honorary Chairman, Young Eagles Program Most people know General Chuck Yeager as the war hero who broke the sound barrier in 1947. To the EAA Aviation Foundation's Young Eagles program, he is all that and more. General Yeager has been the honorary chairman of the Young Eagles program since 1994 when he took over the position from actor Cliff Robertson. Although Yeager was initially asked by the EAA to serve a two-year term, he has retained the position ever since. "I became so impressed by the program and the opportunity it provided to work with a new generation that I offered to continue my chairmanship through 2003, the year the Young Eagles program hopes to have flown one million young people, and the 100th anniversary of powered flight," Yeager said. General Yeager has been a hands-on chairman and active participant in the Young Eagles program. "I am having a wonderful time being chairman of the Young Eagles program," Yeager said. "It is very gratifying to introduce young people to the world of flight and to participate in the development of the next generation of aviators." General Yeager became the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound on October 14, 1947. His historic flight in the Bell X-1 aircraft took place at Muroc Dry Lake Air Field (now Edwards Air Force Base, California). During his nine-year assignment as the nation's leading test pilot, he also became the first man to fly the Bell X-1A, more than twice the speed of sound, on December 12, 1953.
