Yeager is best known for being the first aviator to fly faster than the speed of sound. Charles Elwood Yeager was born in Myra, West Virginia. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force after high school in 1941 and served as a flight officer during World War II (1939-1945). He was commissioned as a reserve flight officer in 1943 and became a pilot in the fighter command of the Eighth Air Force stationed in England. He flew 64 missions over Europe and shot down 13 German aircraft. Yeager's courage was put to the test when his own plane was shot down during a mission over Germany, but with the aid of the French underground, he escaped capture and returned to his unit. After the war, he became a flight instructor and a test pilot, securing a regular commission as a captain in 1947. Yeager was chosen from several volunteers to test-fly the secret, experimental X-1 aircraft, built by the Bell Aircraft Company. The Bell X-1 was designed to test the capabilities of the human pilot and fixed-wing aircraft against the severe aerodynamic stresses of flight near the speed of sound, and to determine if a straight-wing plane could fly faster than the speed of sound (approximately 1223 km/h, or approximately 760 mph, in air at sea level). No one knew whether a pilot could successfully control a plane under the battering effects of the shock waves produced as the plane's speed neared Mach 1 (

General Charles E. Yeager Childhood Adulthood Accomplishments Work Cited Childhood Charles E. Yeager was born on February 13, 1923 in Myra, West Virginia, a small town. He was the second of five children, at the time of his birth Chuck's older brother, Roy, was two years old. As the years progressed, Roy would end up being a large person, especially compared to Chuck, something he was grateful for because he always had a method of defense. Chuck's other siblings include Doris Ann, Pansy Lee, and Hal Jr. Chuck's parents were Albert Hal and Susie Mae Yeager. Chuck's father worked as mechanic; through helping him, Chuck amassed a great knowledge of machinery and engineering, which later helped him as a pilot in the Air Force. When Chuck was about three years old he and his family moved to Hubble, a slightly larger town in West Virginia. There, one night Roy and Chuck were playing with a gun of their father's and Roy accidentally shot and killed Two-year-old Doris Ann. Soon after, the Yeagers moved to Hamlin, West Virginia. There, Chuck graduated from their local high school, but never went to college. As a child, Chuck learned to fish and hunt, hobbies he enjoys to this day.

CHUCK YEAGER Aviator Chuck Yeager was the first human to fly faster than the speed of sound. A combat pilot in World War II, Yeager was shot down over France in 1943, but managed to escape without being captured. After the war he was put in charge of pilot training for experimental aircraft, and on October 14, 1947 became the first person to break the sound barrier, flying a rocket powered Bell X-1 jet. He helped train the first U.S. astronauts and, as if there were no end to his studliness, flew combat missions over Vietnam in the 1960s. In the 1980s Yeager became a celebrity, thanks in large part to the 1984 film made from Tom Wolfe's book The Right Stuff , an account of the early U.S. space program. Extra credit : Yeager's Bell X-1 was called the Glamorous Glennis in tribute to Yeager's wife... Yeager was played by actor Sam Shepard in the film The Right Stuff ; Yeager himself had a small role in the film as a bartender. Yeager joins fellow test pilot Neil Armstrong in our loop on the The Challenger Commission Other WWII pilots include astronaut John Glenn , 'Black Sheep' leader Pappy Boyington and former president George Bush Chuck Yeager: Gallery of Photos Small collection of great pics Chuck Yeager's Official Site Photo gallery, shopping, special features and Yeager's stories of his adventures
