General, I heard that you flew as a chase plane for a b-47 and, ahem, were outrun by a bomber (albeit one of most advanced bombers in the world at the time). Is there any truth to that?
Flying Safety Nov 1951: While flying chase, I never lost a pilot. That's something in test work & given all the named streets at @EdwardsAFB I received the USAF Well Done Award for saving Carl Bellinger: http://www.chuckyeager.com/well-done-award #Flying @TreyGowdyOffcia @CAL_FIRE
