This series combines history and pleasure reading in a fast-paced narrative of the lives of some of the most famous, and infamous, aviators of the 20th century. Rickenbacker left the automobile racetrack he dominated to serve the United States as a fighter ace in the famous Hat-in-the-Ring squadron of World War I.
