NORTH AMERICAN P-51
Double American ace Captain Chuck Yeager flew his P-51 Glamorous Glen
III with the 363rd Fighter Squadron, 357th Fighter Group in England, 1944.
On his return from the European theater, Yeager was selected for test pilot
school and, on graduation, was assigned to Muroc Army Air Base, California.
Flying the Bell X-1 rocket plane, Glamorous Glennis, Yeager achieved an
historic first by breaking the sound barrier on October 14, 1947.
The books, The Right Stuff and Yeager,
touch on what he claims is the secret of
his success: "I always managed to live to
fly another day."
