Two photos: a matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of Chuck Yeager speaking with President Harry Truman and leaning on the Collier Air Trophy, signed in black felt tip by Yeager (the reverse bearing a Truman Library stamp); and an official glossy 8 x 10 USAF photo of Yeager standing on an aircraft ladder, signed in black felt tip by Yeager, who adds “B/Gwen. USAF Ret.” In overall fine condition. President Truman awarded the Collier Air Trophy, commonly rated aviation's highest honor, to the three men instrumental in achieving the first human faster-than-sound flight. Along with Yeager, also given the award were John Stack, research scientist on the staff of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and Lawrence D. Bell, president of Bell Aircraft Corporation of Buffalo.
