Produktbeschreibung
This is a book of fiction, a war novel that required considerable research into the two World Wars. Having been born three years before Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic, the author's teenage years focused on the Great War and combat duty in the Second World War led to a lifetime of learning and writing of the two epics of the 20th century. To those who question the value of fiction over nonfiction, the novelist Barbara Kingsolver offered this: ""I love fiction that educates me on the sly about something I did not realize I wanted to know. As long as novelists have done their research and honored accuracy where it counts, I'd rather learn from a confabulation than a textbook. This story, therefore, honors the historical facts while introducing fictional characters in love and war. Also present in the story are commentaries of issues often distorted by propaganda.

Autorenporträt
A young fighter pilot in the closing months of the European air war in World War II, Robert Huddleston completed 36 combat missions while developing a desire to know more about the German rocket program. A university education under the GI Bill was followed by employment at the White Sands Missile Range--WSMR--where ex-German rocket experts were employed. He then moved on to Washington, joining the newly established space agency--NASA--first at the Goddard Space Flight Center in nearby Maryland, later at NASA headquarters. After leaving federal service, he became a freelance writer, publishing articles, essays, book reviews, and short stories. He also published a biography of a Mexican-American patriot, Edmundo: From Chiapas, Mexico to Park Avenue (2007), and a novella, An American Pilot with the Luftwaffe (2014). Huddleston received degrees from the University of Missouri, George Washington University, and graduated from the National Defense University in Washington as a representative of NASA. He and his wife, Pepita Lassalle, reside in a retirement community near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he continues publishing as a freelancer.
