Correct me if I am wrong but I think he was also in combat in Vietnam and Korea???
Yeager = Patriot and hell of pilot and man.
I dont' know about Korea but the above article says he did a seven year stint at Edwards in the test program from 1947 to 1954..... so he may have missed Korea....
But Vietnam was on his assigned list according to the article above.....In July 1966, he assumed command of the 405th Fighter Wing at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. During this tour, he flew 127 combat missions over Vietnam.
