Chuck Yeager sets the record straight on Hollywood’s depiction of Neil Armstrong in new movie

Chuck Yeager, a World War II fighter pilot ace who became the first known pilot to break the sound barrier, took a swipe at Hollywood on Friday over the upcoming movie “First Man.”

The movie, staring Ryan Gosling, is based on American astronaut Neil Armstrong, who was the first person to ever step foot on the moon. However, the movie controversially omits a key detail in the first lunar landing: Armstrong planting an American flag on the moon’s surface.

Gosling said at the movie’s premiere in Italy that directors wanted to frame the lunar landing as a “human achievement,” rather than an American one.
