I've never met General Yeager, but I've met some of his colleagues. 1. jumped with Col.
@joewkittinger 2. served under Lt. Gen. Charles G. "Chick" Cleveland (last ace of the Korean War) 3. was in a group with Brig. Gen. Charles Jones. Top-notch men. Real leaders.

Sorry. I thought you knew them. General Cleveland was commander of Air University when I was there in the early 1980s. General Jones did some test pilot work, plus assignments with AFSOC and at the Pentagon.

My little claim to USAF fame was that, as a Security Police staff sergeant, three weeks after Operation Eagle Claw, I captured an Iranian that was in a position to disrupt the embassy hostage negotiations.

General Cleveland, when he was AU/CC, was the author of Project Warrior -- which changed the culture of the Air Force.

Where did you learn this? (This also is irrelevant to your incorrect statement that he was my colleague)
