Spielberg followed his passion to become an electrical engineer and enlisted in the army in 1941 as a radio operator and chief communications man for the 490th Bomb Squadron, also known as the “Burma Bridge Busters” because of its designated mission of bombing Japanese bridges and railroad lines. His daughter Nancy referred to his passion for science as his ability to “stay rooted in reality while still being able to dream and invent.” He would share stories throughout the years about his Jewish family’s modest means, including shoveling coal into wheelbarrows or carrying ice uphill and was eventually drawn to a love of science and academia and a lifelong passion for learning and innovative.
