PILOT OF APOLLO 11

Neil Armstrong
Neil Armstrong was the eldest of three children
born to Viola Louise Engel and Stephen Koenig
Armstrong, a state auditor. Neil’s passion for
aviation and flight was kindled when he took his
first airplane ride at age 6. He was active in the
Boy Scouts of America and earned the rank of
Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable. He
became a licensed pilot on his 16th birthday and
a naval air cadet in 1947. His studies in
aeronautical engineering at Purdue University in
West Lafayette, Indiana, were interrupted in
1950 by his service in the Korean War, during
which he was shot down once and was awarded
three Air Medals. He completed his degree in
1955 and immediately became a civilian
research pilot for the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), later the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA). He flew more than 1,100 hours, testing
various supersonic fighters as well as the X-15
rocket plane.
