“Yeager’s Quest” framed print
Chuck Yeager Signed “Yeager’s Quest” (X-1) Limited Edition, #844/950, Color Print by Stan Stokes in Framed Display. This 25.5″ x 19.5″ (sight size) print depicts Yeager flying the Bell X-1 rocket plane named “Glamorous Glennis” (after his wife) to be the first to break the sound barrier.
(The photo of the print is not very good due to reflections on the glass…the print itself is basically perfect)
