Haven't had a chance to read _Yeager_ yet, though I fully intend to. However: There's a really superior and often overlooked book by D. Dwiggins, _Hollywood Pilot_, the story of Paul Mantz, that I cannot reccommend too highly. Probably Dwiggins at the peak of his form. The stories about Yeager (and, for that matter, Ronald Reagan[!]) might give you some further insight into the man. As the Macnelly cartoon said when _The Right Stuff_ movie came out in the 1984 election period (with a poster showing "The Story of John Glenn Before He Became a Space Cadet"), one man speaking to the other said, "I don't care: the movie did change the way I vote. I'll vote for Chuck Yeager." Steve Kallis, Jr. MAIL>
