I worked at NASM just before the period you mentioned, and ([among others](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-the-most-famous-person-youve-seen-in-real-life/822340/92)) met Yeager and Scott Crossfield, who was first to fly Mach 2.

One of them was the nicest and most unassuming guy, pleasant to talk to, and not arrogant in the least. It wasn’t Yeager.
