For an excellent account of Young’s role in early Shuttle development and flying I recommend “Into the black” by Rowland White (Vulcan607). It includes an account of Young insisting on paying a fellow astronaut back for a lunch tab just before the first launch. “You don’t fly these things when you’ve got debts...all my debts are paid”

RIP
