Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q: How many times were you shot down? A: Once. It was enough. I told the guys when I got back to base after a few months, that they hid me in cathouses because the Germans weren't allowed in them. The guys all wanted to go get shot down the next day! @HISTORY @PopMech @PopSci"

  Q, > Muroc, Edwards AFB in the 195O's. That desert watering hole all the pilots hung out at and drank beer. How much then for one bottle of beer? You have any income then?
