SAM left eleven! This book gave me a great in site into how things are done in the real word through a real pilots mind. There are some great and really interesting parts - particularly the flight over from the USA to the UAE in the small cockpit of the F-16! The letters and thoughts he has for his wife and two young daughters are genuinely moving. I also loved The chapter called "Mission from Hell" when the skies were saturated with ground fire and missiles of all kinds.
Honest and comprehensive The book is really quite good. I came across it by accident but I was totally gripped. The book has some excellent bits, especially the fact that the picture on the front is obviously of the author a long time after he left the air force...the G suit doesn't quite fit. His description of how jet fighter pilots deal with the call of nature mid atlantic is superb. Now 15 years old but still great.
Awesome!!! If you are in to military aviation books this is the one for you. It reeds more like a diary than a story. This man lived the dream. You feel like you are sitting beside him in his f-16 as he bombs Iraq.
A must for military book readers!
A must read for military aviation enthusiasts. This is a very enjoyable book, and one that all military enthusiasts will enjoy alot. The book goes into great detail about the authors experiences during the desert storm campaign. During the chapters when the author is describing in great detail about the combat sorties he flew, when he has missiles and triple-a flying all over the place trying to shoot him down, I could'nt put the book down, you felt like you were sitting right next to him at 20,000 feet dropping bombs. All in all a very satisfying read,... more info
