“Reads like the autobiography of the American dream. . . A readable
collection of the people and influences that touched his life and
remarkable career. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal
“The highly objective autobiography of one of the real giants of
the aerospace world, . . . written so clearly that the average
person cannot only understand it but gets caught up in
it.”—Aerospace Historian
“Fast-paced, very readable, and technically interesting. It covers
a fifty-year span of American aviation without being a history
book. . . What makes this book so valuable is Mr. Johnson's
exposition of the mind-set to find the simplest, least expensive
fix to each technological problem. . . . Recommended for all
harried technologists and defense planners, it will encourage one's
faith that a better way is possible.”—H. Lawrence Elman, National
Defense
“A good look at a fascinating man who has led, and who continues to
lead, a perfectly charmed life."—Air Force
