John the Dragon is heartbroken when he discovers that he can’t fly using his own wings. They just don’t work! Then he discovers a creative idea – join the Air Force and fly using the wings of his jet airplane. In the end, John becomes a great pilot and his own wings end up saving the day for everybody.

This touching book doubles as a metaphor about resilience, leadership, creativity and innovation for all ages. And, if you pay attention carefully you will notice a few references to famous test pilot Chuck Yeager.
