John H. Glenn, Astronaut

The successful flight and safe return of Marine Astronaut Lt.-Col. John Herschel Glenn, Jr., have given his name a luster that few other American names have ever achieved.
But John Glenn is more than a name. He is a dedicated maker of history who modestly believes that his God-given talents, and his ability and opportunity to use them, are his destiny-indeed his duty to his country and the world.
Here, written by men who know him, is the biography of that remarkable man and his historic flight.
