Fifty years ago Eddie Rickenbacker was a household name. This wild， funny， highly original novel brings him back to life， simultaneously elevating him to the realm of myth and portraying him with all his flaws. A pioneer in the world of automobiles and autoracing， America s World War I flying ace， a major influence on both the aircraft industry and aircraft design， founder of a major airline， he made front-page news across the country during World War II by surviving in a life raft in the Pacific for twenty-one days.The novel is told in a multitude of voices ranging from Alfred Sloan of General Motors to novelist John Dos Passos and General Billy Mitchell to Rickenbacker s wife and mother -- and， of course， the voice of Eddie himself. But most startling of all is the voice of God， a detached observer who comments frequently and ironically on Rickenbacker s life and machinations.
