REVIEW

Wings of fire was perhapsthe first book which i had read not completly but near the complete and which was not a part of my school and collage syllabus
}i had read this book in 2016 that time Dr. Kalam was not with us as i was not into the habit of reading then i wondered if i would be able to finish this book but i did not finish it and within a short time. i was think finished it but not able to finished now something talk about book .in this book ,almost almost every thired line which Dr. Kalam speaks appers to collectible quote .i had read the book 2016 and still experienced the same feeling of awe in which . i was left when i had read this book a year ago.
wings of fire is the life story of Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam ,the 11th presidant of india.A notable scientist and an engineer Dr.Kalam is often referred toas the missile man of india .he played a key role in developing india first and indigenously made now talk about book . In thisnbook , Dr. Kalam has described the various projects he under took and shows howa perosn can manage a large team of experts without any formal knowledge in projects management and temdynamics .he never fails to acknowledge another quote form the book Technology, unlike science,is a group activity. it is not based on an individual intalligence,but on the interacting intelligence of many"
i strongly suggest that this book be read to know/understand the man behind indians burst into the international arena of the elits as far as its defence capabilities are concerned

I enjoyed the book more as a biography of Indian Space and Aerospace Innovations/advancements. And less of Dr. Kalam as a person.
But still worth a read to know more about ISRO, DRDL and others in India. ( )
