pickWow—I can see why my uncle has been raving about this autobiography for decades! Victor Herman, his parents, brother & sister all left Detroit as part of a 3-year contract his father took to build cars in Russia in the 1930s.It took Victor over 40 years to return to America. Hailed as the Charles Lindbergh of Russia for his piloting, parachute jumps, marksmanship & boxing, his refusal to deny citizenship landed him in prison, then Siberian exile.
