Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,585
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.

Here, in his own words, is the true story of America's wildest flying hero, of his extraordinary heroism, and of his greatest battle of all-the fight to survive. 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.

Stick and Rudder is the first exact analysis of the art of flying ever attempted. It has been continuously in print for 33 years. It shows precisely what the pilot does when he flies, just how he does it, and why. Because the basics are largely unchanging, the book therefore is applicable to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and to the instructor himself.

On a moonless night in January 1991, a dozen US aircraft appeared in the skies over Baghdad. To the Iraqi air defenses, the planes seemed to come from nowhere. Each aircraft was more than 60 feet in length and with a wingspan of 40 feet, yet its radar footprint was the size of a ball bearing. Here was the first extensive combat application of Stealth technology. And it was devastating.

The Lockheed SR-71, unofficially known as the Blackbird, was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed Skunk Works. The aircraft flew so fast and high that not one was ever shot down, even by a missile. SR-71 pilot and instructor Colonel Richard Graham offers a rare cockpit perspective on how regular Air Force pilots and navigators transformed themselves into SR-71 Blackbird crews, turning their unique aviation talents to account in an unprecedented way.

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.

Dan Hampton was a leading member of the Wild Weasels, the elite Air Force fighter squadrons whose mission is recognized as the most dangerous job in modern air combat. Weasels are the first planes sent into a war zone, flying deep behind enemy lines purposely seeking to draw fire from surface-to-air missiles and artillery. They must skillfully evade being shot down - and then return to destroy the threats, thereby making the skies safe for everyone else to follow.

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.

Jaw Dropping Ground and Air Combat Realism
- By STRATIS A. SIMON on 04-29-17
By: Adam Makos
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.

I read this autobiography in the late 90’s. I was very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed it. Upon hearing of Yeager’s death I wanted to refresh the memory of what I had read. I enjoyed it as much this time as I did 20+ years ago. Incredible life.

What a tremendous story! The only thing I would have loved to learn was his deep struggles, alcohol and other deeper issues to get the whole picture. How come no one has done a mini series on this guy? I could see at least 4 or 5 seasons on Amazon Prime. :)

A reminder of what a great man is all about
I bought this book the day I heard of the passing of Chuck Yeager. I had read another book on Chuck some years ago but this is really the best. It’s like an action novel.
What a great book about a true hero. One of the greatest airmen of all time. It’s well read and the narratives by the different characters made it really enjoyable.
