The life story of a daredevil who became a war hero will fascinate
adventurous young readers with its tales of survival. At age
thirteen, following the death of his father, young Eddie dropped
out of school and joined the workforce. Through a combination of
smarts, hard work, and perseverance, Rickenbacker would grow up to
become an automobile mechanic, a race car driver, a fighter pilot,
an entrepreneur, a war hero, a business executive, and a staunch
advocate for hard work and personal responsibility. Along the way
he lived on the line between recklessness and courage. He survived
dozens of accidents, coming close to death more than once. During
the earliest years of American automobile racing, Rickenbacker was
"the most daring and withal the most cautious driver" on the
circuit. How could he have been both daring and cautious? This book
invites young readers to decide for themselves as they follow
Rickenbacker on his many hair-raising adventures.
