Abstract
Wings of fire” is the journey of a small town lad to the great pioneer ship in rocket science, beautifully blended with Indian “space odyssey” and the struggle of a developing nation to become self reliant in creating its own defense shield defying the domination of developed countries. Fire represents the burning desire of an individual and the book is an account of unfathomable attainment when the “fire within” gets “wings of determination”. Each page of the book is power packed - power to ignite your mind, power to fill you with optimism and power to make you feel proud of your motherland.
