MWSA Review
The real General Chuck Yeager is more deeply revealed in, 101 Chuck Yeager-isms, compiled and written by Victoria Yeager, his wife and companion for more than twenty years. The “Right Stuff” American hero’s wit and wisdom is shown through his brief retorts commenting on everything from the abilities of a wingman: “An arrogant pilot will get ya killed; confident ones make history,” to life’s secrets: “You don’t have to be good to be a legend, all you gotta do is live.” Added value for readers are the many excellent photos: color and B & W. Further, an index makes 101 Chuck Yeager-isms a keeper for future references as a personal reminder to some of life's secrets espoused by an American favorite.
