Chuck Yeager
70-years ago today American icon Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier (clip from the movie The Right Stuff). As impressive as that feat was the day before, October 12th, was also the anniversary of another jaw-dropping feat in American history.
On October 12, 1944, Chuck Yeager shot down 5 German planes becoming an "Ace in a Day".
Incredible feats by an incredible American hero.
