Alaska to Africa: The true story of the 18 Fosters

This is the true, never-before-told story of the exploits of the brilliant scientist and WWII survivor who invented the lithium battery and kept the United States safe for 40 years. He was an Air Force scientist who brought 16 children into the world and took them with him from Alaska to Africa and many places in between. Because his work was top secret the world has never known of his research or his creations, which are now declassified. After his Flying Fortress was shot down in WWII, Arthur Glenn Foster escaped from Germany and rose from Air Force Lieutenant to Director of Hardness (Upgrade & Maintenance) for all U.S. missile installations. The book reveals how his large brood of children, gifted in different ways than their father, coped with his genius and with the world around them as they were transferred from one air base to another. This is a story of the human spirit: of adventure, courage, ingenuity, inspiration, and persistence that cannot be ignored.
