CHUCK YEAGER | 95

Chuck Yeager has been a role model to many of his fans ever since he started his career. He has always been an inspiration to most people who knew him and was dubbed as the fastest man alive in 1947. After joining the army, he took up pilot training lessons and eventually he started piloting airplanes for the army. He made history when he broke the record of being able to fly an airplane faster than the speed of sound which was just an amazing feat.

After receiving numerous awards and prizes for making history he decided it was time for him to retire with the rank of brigadier general in 1975. With his $1.5million fortune, he should be able to enjoy a peaceful life free of personal loans and mortgages however, things change when the fastest man alive met his death end on December 7, 2020 at the age of 97.
