The Aviators: Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh, and the Epic Age of Flight
Автор:Winston Groom Год: 2013 Издание:National Geographic Страниц: 480 ISBN: 9781426211560 THE AVIATORS is the true story of Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, and Charles Lindbergh - three extraordinary Americans who between World War I and World War II pushed the limits of flight and redefined heroism through their genius, daring, and uncommon courage. Winston Groom's rich narrative tells their intertwined stories - from broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive them); barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II; front-page triumph to anguished tragedy; and near death to ultimate survival - as all took to the sky time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the "greatest generation."
