U.S. Space & Rocket Center release
Jan Davis Book Signing

Join the U.S. Space & Rocket Center on Saturday, July 29, 2023 for the world premiere of former American astronaut and veteran of three spaceflights Dr. Jan Davis' book "Air Born: Two Generations in Flight."

"Air Born" allows the reader to join on a flight through history as Jan Davis relates her father's heroic service and draws connections through his combat missions and her own spaceflights. Discover the ins and outs of pilot training in the 1940s alongside Ben Smotherman and bear witness to his harrowing capture, interrogation, and imprisonment at Stalag Luft III. Shadow Jan Davis as she expertly navigates a career characterized by space exploration, scientific experimentation, and phenomenal feats of engineering. Draw inspiration from the intersection of two completely different yet uniquely connected worlds brought together by a common link of family and flying.

Dr. Davis will give a talk about her book and sign copies afterwards.

Space Center Houston will host Jan Davis on at 1:00 p.m. on Nov. 28, 2023:
NASA astronaut Jan Davis discusses and signs copies of her book, "Air Born: Two Generations in Flight." In a lively conversation, Davis relates her and her father's storied careers in aerospace, exploring the challenges and triumphs that led both to draw inspiration from the intersection of two different yet connected worlds brought together by family and flying.

A book signing follows the conversation.
