Gen. Chuck Yeager turns 96 years old today. Right stuff indeed.
Interesting how Tom Wolfe idolized Chuck Yeager in "The Right Stuff" as the coolest pilot there ever was, yet James R. Hansen's "First Man" implies that he was something of an under-educated jerk. I suspect that he is/was probably somewhere in between.
