Chuck Yeager, who drove rocket planes for a living, being the first person to break the sound barrier in level flight in the Bell X-1, later was talked into writing an autobiography . . for Bantam, the same publisher that had made Lee Iacocca a household name with his (ghost-written) life story, Iacocca:

As I recall, Gen. Yeager enjoyed a private victory--never boasting or criticizing the competition--when sales of his recently-published book bumped Iacocca's from the #1 spot on the NY Times' best-seller list.

I wonder who will be remembered as the greater man.
