This is the amazingly true story of a hero - Billy Fiske - who captained the first American Bobsled team to win a gold medal in the Olympics in 1928 at the young age of 16. He again won one at 20 years old 4 years later at Lake Placid NY.
He went on to become the youngest American fighter pilot in WW2, and also was the first pilot to be killed in battle.
