Going back to a simpler time in each of these individuals lives was quite enjoyable and an eye-opening view of their lives.
From the authors standpoint, all of the men shared common traits. They were all brilliant, and relentless in their pursuit of their dreams and inventions. Although controversial at times, they stood up for their beliefs. The author was privileged to have been able to learn from them as well as to share their friendship. I really enjoyed this book.

the beginning was more interesting with the stories of Edison, Ford, Firestone, & Carrel….after that, a pretty long recitation of the glories of Lindbergh & all the moral/religious talks & action. bit ironic with what we know about Linbergh's integrity now.
