Follow an independent inventor's journey from a small warehouse through the CIA, the White House, NELO, NSWC, NASA, and beyond.

Fifty years ago, Bill Harvey created a simple process that allowed large sheets of foam board to be bent into the curved shapes of airplanes. This book is a tale about that invention, and the events and people that would one day transform it into the ExDrone UAV. More than that, it's the story of a product of the sixties caught up in the military machine, the resulting conflicts and joys, and the consequences - unintended or otherwise.
