I think it is one of the best book for the young minds who want to do something big in life. It is also the best inspirational book. I think everyone should have to know about life of Apj Abdul Kalam. Every youth would have the follow this man. He is one of the best scientist in the world. I have the initial characters of wings of fire since it gives a vivid picture of our country during 1930s-1950s. In the book we learn how Kalam started his carrier in aeronautical development establishment(ADE) and was involved in the designing of a hover craft. Later he moved to Indian space research organisation which was the brain child of vikram sarabhai. In 1963 Kalam went to NASA facility in Maryland(USA) as apart of training program on sounding rocket launching techniques. There he came across a painting which depicted tipu sultans warfare against the British.
