I COULD NEVER BE SO LUCKY AGAI: Doolittle Memoirs: An Autobiography of James H. ""Jimmy"" Doolittle with Carroll V. Glines

A brave man, and an inspirational story.

This is a man whose life spans a time from the very first flight to space flight. He lived through an amazing time and some sense of this shines through the book. I got a little bogged down in places because I am not an airplane fanatic, but the human side of it all kept me reading. Above all, I admire his wife for putting up with him and supporting him. How she coped through all the times he could have died, I do not know. She was intelligent enough and educated enough to have had a career of her own, but she was content to support her man.My partner and I both enjoyed this book, but for different reasons. For him, it was more the aircraft side of it, for me it was the people.
