There was a documentary on him a few months ago, probably on Discovery or
similar. It showed some excellent footage of his original jump. Hopefully it

Do a Wiki look-up on 'Joe Kittinger' and see what the old chap who was
'CapCom' achieved not only in the low-tech World of 52 years ago but
subsequently in his life. I'm rather ashamed to say that I had never heard
of him!
