Description
In How to Grow Wings, Lyn C. reveals the compelling life of Bill Brosco, a young man the US Air Forde sent off to a Cold War he wanted no part of. His father had signed him up for the Army when he was just seventeen. The son of a Polish immigrant, Bill had little to offer the military, or so he thought. But the military wanted just that: boys who could fix things, boys who wanted to learn, and Bill was that boy. The more important jobs he could do for the U.S. Air Force as a young engineer, the more difficult assignments the USAF gave him, all in the deadliest places in the world. Word of his remarkable journey got around to companies in the States, like Chrysler, who needed just such a man to work on the very first Redstones, Jupiters and Saturns. When he began working under the famous scientist, Dr. Wernher von Braun, he gathered enough courage to seek the life he'd never had, but not even von Braun could prepare him for the terrifying evil he soon had to face alone. Stafford uses Brosco's story as a gateway into the history, the tumult that was the Cold War, the search for piece, the threat of war, and the cutting edge of science in the race to space. This is global history through the eyes of a young man full of dreams.
