Ross<\/h3>\n<p>Throughout his life, Eddie Rickenbacker learned first-hand how to overcome the odds stacked against him, whether in a damaged biplane spiraling toward his imminent death over the front lines of WWI, or a racecar hurtling over the bricks at Indy in the inaugural 500-mile race.<\/p>\n<p>His list of accomplishments is both long and wide, including multiple Distinguished Flying Crosses and a Medal of Honor as the USA\u2019s most successful fighter ace of the First World War, a top-10 finish at Indy and tenures as an auto manufacturer, owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and head of Eastern Airlines, to name but a few.<\/p>\n<p>This book puts substance to that style, illuminating the details of a picture that is probably at least familiar to many of us. Throughout his life, Rickenbacker\u2019s exploits could be defined by two now over-used terms, \u201caction hero\u201d and \u201csurvivor,\u201d but he was the one who helped establish the template for those appellations. This well-crafted book gives readers a full appreciation of a man like no other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Available for US$26.99 at enthusiast bookstores or directly from publisher St. Martin\u2019s Press at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stmartins.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.stmartins.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enduring Courage: Ace Pilot Eddie Rickenbacker and the Dawn of the Age of Speed By John F.
