Little Eagles tells the extraordinary story of Sergei Korolyov, chief designer and unsung hero of the Soviet space programme. Under the leadership of this remarkable man, the USSR trounced the Americans in the space race throughout the fifties and for much of the sixties, achieving a series of firsts, including the first intercontinental ballistic missile, first satellite, first animal in space, first human in space and Earth orbit and first unmanned Moon landing.
