Available in time to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, this biography introduces youngsters to Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the Moon. Illustrations.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and, to an audience of over 450 million people, proclaimed his step a "giant leap for mankind." This Eagle Scout built his own model planes as a little boy and then grew up to be a test pilot for experimental aircraft before becoming an astronaut. Over 80 black-and-white illustrations bring Armstrong's story to life.
