Two glossy 10 x 8 photos, both signed in black felt tip by Chuck Yeager, with images including: a photo of Yeager speaking with President Harry Truman and leaning on the Collier Air Trophy; and a photo of Yeager standing next to a F-20 Tigershark light fighter. In overall fine condition. President Truman awarded the Collier Air Trophy, commonly rated aviation's highest honor, to the three men instrumental in achieving the first human faster-than-sound flight. Along with Yeager, also given the award were John Stack, research scientist on the staff of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and Lawrence D. Bell, president of Bell Aircraft Corporation of Buffalo.
