Book Description
Flying over Guadalcanal in the fall and winter of 1942-43, Joe Foss rewrote the aerial combat record books by becoming the first American to match legendary World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker's twenty-six victories, a feat that earned him the Medal of Honor. After the war, Joe Foss entered a new war zone--politics--becoming South Dakota's youngest governor. In the 1960s he was tapped to become the founding commissioner of the American Football League and was instrumental in creating the Super Bowl.
