When Gen Yeager broke the sound barrier he was a serving officer in the Air Force. It was an Air Force project, paid for by the taxpayers of the US. Does Gen. Yeager even have a right to file this lawsuit? It was my understanding that military officers don't own the rights to their accomplishments, the military does.
