Yeager was assigned to the 357th Fighter Group in which he flew combat
missions over Europe from February of 1944 until the end of WWII. On his
eighth mission he was shot down over German-occupied France. He was able
to escape capture, and made his way back home through Spain. While in combat,
he downed thirteen enemy aircraft including five Me-109's on a single day,
and one of Germany's first jet fighters. After the war, Yeager would go
on to become an experimental test pilot. As such, he would be the first
man to break the sound barrier. |
