Eddie Rickenbacker - Young Patriot Series #6 Paperback

Meet Eddie Rickenbacker, Fearless Racing Driver and World War I Flying Ace.

America's World War I Flying Ace, winner of the Medal of Honor, and racecar driver Eddie Rickenbacker's first attempt at flight was riding his bicycle off the roof while holding an umbrella! Growing up in the Midwest in the early 1900's, young Eddie, whose parents were Swiss immigrants, worked hard to help support his family but found time to build a "pushmobile," experience a thrilling ride in a "horseless carriage," and come face-to-face with a moving train. Don't miss this latest installment in the series that celebrates American heroes and heroines—the Young Patriot Series.
