The Yeager and Armstrong version of events of that day are very different. Yeager says he tried to talk Armstrong out of the touch and go; Armstrong says that didn't happen. Also according to Armstrong, Yeager suggested a 2nd touch and go with a slower speed after touching down; that is when the plane got stuck.
The author, James R. Hanson has comments in the book "First Man" about how Yeager's recall of the event seems to change over the years.
I've read a few autobiographies and compared them to biographies written by historians. While the autobiographical books make for entertaining reading I've found that other books about the same person seem to be more factual, as far as I can tell. Compare Yeager's autobiography to Louis Rotundo's "Into the Unknown" as well as Gregory Boyington's "Baa Baa Black Sheep" to Bruce Gamble's "Black Sheep One".
