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.â€
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.
