Private Yeager’s CO at Moffett Field was Jimmy Stewart. After Moffett Field, I moved on to pilot training for fighters, Jimmy moved on to bombers.
Later in the 1960’s, we saw each other again at Edwards AFB. Really nice guy. He always said fighting for the USA in World War II, flying bombers, was the most important and memorable time in his life.
Then again, I participated when the Kennedy Center honored Jimmy. I sang Auld Lang Syne with Carol Burnett. Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyeUCLNRXbg
