This is the autobiography of Guenter Wendt, the Pad Führer of Cape Canaveral. His story covers the beginning of the manned space program at Cape Canaveral. This book is full of stories of the early Cape and the men who worked there. Complete with frozen palmetto bugs and snakes, this book is a treasure of stories that aren’t often told, but are an important record of our space history. The book is nicely composed and easy to read. Recommended for anyone interested in the Space Race, NASA, show more Cape Canaveral or Florida history. show less
