    flight was kindled when he took his first airplane ride at age 6.
    • In 1947, Armstrong. began his studies in aeronautical engineering at
    Purdue University.
    • His studies were interrupted in 1949 when he was called to serve in
    the Korean War. Navy pilot, Armstrong flew 78 missions during this
    military conflict. He left the service in 1952, and returned to college. A
    few years later, Armstrong joined the NACA, which later became the
