Yeager’s postwar exploits took humankind to the brink of space exploration and were immortalised in celebrated book and film The Right Stuff

Thinking more of Chuck Yeager, and the lyrics of the old Air Force song echo in my mind: "Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun." RIP.Born in West Virginia in 1923, Yeager enlisted in the air force at the beginning of the second world war and worked his way up to become a fighter pilot.
