those things were only accomplished because of you. Yeager was an exceptional pilot, but also a shameless self-promoter. The guy had a huge pair....but the sound barrier would have been broken without him.

If you read his autobiography he still comes off as somewhat an a**hole, and that's him writing about himself. I would not want to fly anything that he had flown the day before.

YMMV
