Yet, shy of fame and never one to steal the spotlight, Armstrong was always reluctant to discuss his personal side of events. Here for the first time is the story of Neil's life of flight, shared for five decades with his trusted friend Jay Barbree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking from 50 years of conversations he had with Neil, from notes, interviews, NASA spaceflight transcripts, and remembrances of those Armstrong trusted, Barbree writes about Neil's three passions: flight, family, and friends. This is the inside story of Neil Armstrong, from the time he flew combat missions in the Korean War to when he flew Apollo-Eleven to the moon's Sea of Tranquillity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, Neil and Jay discussed everything, from his love of flying to the war years, and, of course, his time in space. The book is full of never-before-seen photos and personal details written down for the first time, including what Armstrong really felt when he took that first step on the moon, what life in NASA was like, and what he felt the future of space exploration should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the only reporter to have covered all 166 American astronaut flights and moon landings, Jay knows these events intimately. Through his friendship with Neil and his dedicated research, Barbree brings us the most accurate account of his friend's life of flight, the book he planned for twenty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401891823852,"sku":"9781250040725","price":67.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/91i3RkTfCmS._SL1500.jpg?v=1773802485"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jay-barbree.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
