General Chuck Yeager, the greatest test pilot of them all -- the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound . . .the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang . . .the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff. Like 'Yeager', his first bestselling autobiography, Press On! is chock-full of Chuck Yeager's own brand of rugged individualism, describing everything from flying daredevil missions over Germany in World War II to fishing the icy lakes for golden trout in the Sierras with best friend Bud Anderson.
