In the Cockpit with Chuck Yeager, previously released as an ebook, is now available in print. The book is the first volume in Passion for Flight, a series of short biographies regarding notable pilots who inspire young and old alike to take to the skies.

Brig. Gen. Charles Elwood “Chuck” Yeager was a test pilot and the first person to break the sound barrier, on October 14, 1947. After he was shot down during World War II and evaded capture, he successfully fought a rule that banned shot-down pilots from re-entering combat and eventually became a double ace. In 65 years in military cockpits, he flew at least 340 different makes and models of military airplanes, including the Air Force’s entire inventory during World War II, as well as aircraft from Germany, France, England, Japan, Sweden and Russia.

In the Cockpit with Chuck Yeager is presently available through Amazon and on Gen. Yeager’s website in the Right Stuff Store. See a preview of the book here.

It is the mission of Freeze Time Media to make this book and future books in the Passion for Flight series available to organizations, libraries and schools, to further interest in aviation. Please use the contact form to inquire about wholesale prices and donations for this purpose.

There are presently ten ebooks available in the series, at Amazon and BN.com. Those books will be available in print over the next few months. The series will eventually include more than fifty titles.

Di Freeze interviewed many of the world’s best known aviators during nearly a decade as editor in chief of a national aviation publication.
