Description

“I don’t deny that I was damned good. If there is such a thing as ‘the best’ I was at least one of the title contenders”

TQS, one page, 6.25 x 7.5. Yeager writes, in full: “Every since Tom Wolfe’s book was published, the question I’m asked most often and which always annoys me is whether I think I’ve got the ‘right stuff’. I know that golden trout have the right stuff, and I’ve seen a few gals here and there that I’d bet had it in spades, but those words seem meaningless when used to describe a pilot’s attributes. I don’t deny that I was damned good. If there is such a thing as ‘the best’ I was at least one of the title contenders. I’ve had a full life and enjoyed just about every damned minute of it because that’s how I lived.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold, not affecting the signature. RRAuction COA.
