Signed by General Yeager himself 71+ years ago! See left side of cockpit. Happy Birthday Ace!
Celebrate Chuck Yeager’s 96th birthday by having a look around the cockpit of Glamorous Glennis, the bullet-shaped, orange Bell X-1 aircraft in which he broke the sound barrier in 1947. (He named the history-making airplane after his wife.)https://www.airspacemag.com/articles/chuck-yeagers-cockpit-180964968/ …

I found three places where he signed it. There are probably more. One was October 2, 1947.

This is a wonderful 360 of the cockpit. I'm trying to imagine myself getting in that metal seat and going faster than anybody else ever before. Thank you,
@GenChuckYeager. Happy 96th birthday.
