Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

The World War II air war in the Pacific needed tough men like Colonel Pappy Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron. The legendary Marine Corps officer and his bunch of misfits, outcasts, and daredevils gave a new definition to "hell-raising" - on the ground and in the skies.

Only 55 hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, Apollo 13 (previously published as Lost Moon) tells the full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe.

In the aftermath of World War II, the United States accelerated the development of technologies that would give it an advantage over the Soviet Union. Airpower, combined with nuclear weapons, offered a formidable check on Soviet aggression. In 1947, the United States Air Force was established. Meanwhile, scientists and engineers were pioneering a revolutionary new type of aircraft which could do what no other machine had ever done: reach mach 1 - a speed faster than the movement of sound - which pilots called "the demon."

There’s a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: It often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them. Manifesto is the much-anticipated first audiobook from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's “minimalist” maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the audiobook's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft.

Of the many myths that emerged following the end of the Korean War, the prevailing one in the West was that of the absolute supremacy of US Air Force pilots and aircraft over their Soviet-supplied opponents. The claims of the 10:1 victory-loss ratio achieved by the US Air Force fighter pilots flying the North American F-86 Sabre against their communist adversaries, amongst other such fabrications, went unchallenged until the end of the Cold War, when Soviet records of the conflict were finally opened. From that point onwards, a very different story began to emerge.

John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history. Some remember him as the greatest US fighter pilot ever - the man who, in simulated air-to-air combat, defeated every challenger in less than 40 seconds. Some recall him as the father of our country's most legendary fighter aircraft - the F-15 and F-16. Still, others think of Boyd as the most influential military theorist since Sun Tzu. They know only half the story.

Publisher's Summary
Number-One Multi-Million-Copy Best Seller • A one-of-a-kind portrait of a true American hero: General Chuck Yeager
“The secret of my success is that I always managed to live to fly another day.”
General Chuck Yeager was the greatest test pilot of them all - the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound...the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang...the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff.
Now he 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 engaging in do-or-die dogfights over Nazi Europe. How after being shot down 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.
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.

Just an Amazing Life
Many people are familiar with a part of Chuck Yeager's life from the movie "The Right Stuff." Let's say that, while very entertaining, the movie does not get everything right. The real story is even more interesting.
Chuck's adventures in through World War II would alone also make an almost unbelievable movie. Chuck was a double ace and once shot down five planes in one day. On top of that he bailed out and had a harrowing escape through the underground. Amazing.
When Chuck broke the sound barrier after the war, he was only, by my count 24 or 25. He then did more test flying, and then led squadrons in Germany and elsewhere. All along the way, he met the icons of the age and had many colorful friends and admirers, including Pancho Barnes and Jackie Cochran. There is just one amazing story after another.
The book ends in the 1980s. As this review is written, Chuck is still with us at 97. A true American hero.
This is a great book. The narration is mainly in the first person by "Chuck" with excerpts from his wife Glynnis and others (not the real people--professional narrators playing their parts). It is well done.

Unreal history and feats. Awesome performances one of the best quality audibles I’ve ever heard besides the epic story. This book could’ve been a 10part series so having one hi quality recording is very rich. 10/10 the only book I’ve ever given this rating I believe.

Loved by the granddaughter of a Cold-war era navy pilot
I thoroughly enjoyed reading General Yeager’s autobiography. While his time came after Yeager’s, my grandfather was a bomber pilot in the US Navy during the Cold War/Korean War era. He also loved flying so much, and we even got to together to see Gen. Yeager take off in a Mustang at an air show many years ago. This book gives me just a glimpse of why my Grandpa loves flying (even though he’s not able to fly as a pilot anymore)- and to better understand my love of what I do as a critical care nurse. Fives stars for this book!
