Chuck Yeager

After high school, Chuck, being poorly educated and destitute decided to join the U.S. Army Air Corps. The funny thing about that is that Chuck never even saw an airplane on the ground until he was 16 years old, when it had an emergency and landed in a cornfield, and Chuck was not even impressed with it.

He went on to shooting down 7 more during the war, and was promoted to Captain. He did not go into action too much, just commanded his squadron. They hike the mountains for days, thinking they go nowhere. Chuck decided to carry him for three days before they finally got into neutral Spain. Because he was from West Virginia, he had a strong accent, and a poor education, so he was never given a chance at first. He survived the fall bad needed skin grafts for his burns. The other pilot got his leg totally blown off. One day, they found a cabin and rested. Well, someone was jealous and sent a letter saying the Chuck had not passed test pilot school. The suit caught on fire and tangled in his parachute. Unluckily for Yeager, on his next mission in 1943, his plane gto shot down over enemy territory and he had to jump out (there were no ejection seats in those days). After 3 months it was done, and Chuck’s name was in the record book. Yet, on his 7th mission the Americans encountered German planes while escorting a bomber.
