	Brigadier General Chuck Yeager: Official Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Gen. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager was born in Myra, W.Va., on Feb. 13, 1923.
		As Ascani recalled, Yeager flew an airplane "as though he was an integral part of it; his 'feel' for a new airplane was instinctive, intuitive and as natural as if he had already flown it for a hundred or more hours."
		By latter-day standards, it is remarkable that, while engaged in a wide range of such highly experimental flight research programs, he was also involved in the evaluation of virtually all of the aircraft that were then being considered for the Air Force's operational inventory.
