I remember when John Glen came to town and visited my Grandfather.
Grandpa built the components in the "life support system" he carried up to the Apollo capsule. It was a compact portable A/C unit to keep the Astronauts cool while moving from the Tram to the top of the Rocket.
Grandpa also was a Design Engineer for Curtiss Air on plains like the Hawk and the later P-40 or "Warhawk" and "Tomahawk" with its many various design modifications.
