The dude had balls the size of a dump truck. We will miss him even if we don't know it.
I highly recommend his autobiography:

RIP, General Yeager. You served your country well.
Chuck Yeager's 1986 Autobigraphy is really good and easy to read. I'd recommend reading it if you'd like some background on modern air-to-air combat.
If you haven't read his autobiography, it's really good.

I read it a couple times in middle school... really interesting and inspiring.
Yaeger's autobiography is really interesting. Different time period than you were asking about but definitely worth reading. http://www.amazon.com/Yeager-An-Autobiography-Chuck/dp/0553256742
I read his autobiography and it read like a grandfather telling stories to his grandchildren.
FYI His autobiography is a great read.
Here is a link to the amazon page for the book.
