An Improbable Astronaut: How a Georgia farmboy wound up flying the space shuttle - Hardcover

Astronaut Roy Bridges intentionally pursued a life of adventure. From fearlessly hunting bears in the woods with his cap pistol at age five, to piloting a fighter jet in Vietnam in his twenties, to rocketing into space at forty-two, he quietly, diligently, and relentlessly made his dream a reality. Fueled by ambition and hard work, fed by the support of family, and formed by the wisdom and character of their example, he made his way from humble beginnings to positions of leadership and prestige-and followed his dream by flying into space as the pilot of the Challenger space shuttle, a classic American Dream of our times.

Join him on his quest as he becomes An Improbable Astronaut.
