This is the first edition, second printing of The All-American Boys, Walter Cunningham's candid look at America's space program. The book was published in 1997 by Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., in New York. The book is presented in its original dust jacket and boards and is signed and inscribed on the front free endpage, “To Jim, Walt Cunningham'' in black ink.
The All-American Boys is a no-holds-barred candid memoir by the former Marine jet pilot and physicist, who became NASA's second civilian astronaut. From its insider's view of the pervasive "astropolitics" that guided the functioning of the astronaut corps, to its thoughtful discussion of the Shuttle Columbia tragedy, The All-American Boys resonates with Cunningham's passion for space travel and exploration.
Cunningham brings readers into NASA's training program and reveals what it takes to be an astronaut. He poignantly relates the story of the devastating Apollo 1 fire that took the lives of three astronauts and his own later successful flight on Apollo 7.
