Description
Neil Armstrong: A Life of Flight by Jay Barbree is the definitive story of America's modern hero and history's most famous space traveler. For the first time, this book reveals the personal side of Neil Armstrong's life, shared with his trusted friend Jay Barbree over 50 years. The book explores three passions that defined Neil's life: flight, family, and friends. From his combat missions in the Korean War to flying a rocket plane called the X-15 to the edge of space, and from saving his Gemini 8 mission by flying an emergency return from Earth orbit to walking on the moon's Sea of Tranquility, Jay Barbree shares never-before-seen photos and personal details about Neil's experiences. With intimate knowledge of NASA and its astronauts, Jay Barbree brings a unique perspective to this story. The book offers a rare glimpse into Neil Armstrong's life, including his emotions when taking that first step on the moon, his relationships with fellow astronauts, and his vision for the future of space exploration.
