Breezy read through the life of an adventurous man - a German citizen in China as WWII broke out, a skilled practical engineer who endeared himself in Asia caring for the few wealthy with vehicles c1940. An unofficial but vital associate of the Flying Tigers and Gen. Chennault who earned his US citizenship and the heart of a Washington DC lady. Then a postwar corporate career in the turbine jet division of GE. Entertaining, enlightening about the war era in Asia, and about the GE turbine story from an insider perspective. Published back in 1984 so off the radar for most. I’m guessing young readers would lap it up, especially the STEM type kid.
