While fiercely protecting Allied bombers, he shot down eleven enemy planes, including a lightning-fast Messerschmitt Me 262, the world's first jet-powered airplane, and completed more than sixty missions.In Chuck Yeager , acclaimed author Don Keith tells the true story of the American icon during the war in which Yeager first proved he had the right stuff.
