Con n Bạc reads like a flight simulator in an ephemeral dream. Lost in three acts, through three separate wars, the reader follows two legendary Cold War fighter planes. Amongst a supporting cast of pilots, mechanics, and passersby, the flying machines take the leading roll as they unfold through successive conflicts.
A written exercise in flight procedure, survival, history and duty. A love letter to the planes and their systems, tangled up in lives and stories. An ode to men of history-an ode to the machines.The F-4 Phantom and the MiG-21 Fishbed, a rivalry that lasted through changing wars and ages.
