Customer Reviews

Steel Tiger is a great war story.

Do you like a book that is able to take you to the front of a war and able to make you feel that your there with the characters? If you do, then you'll love STEEL TIGER by Mark Bernet. This book is able to put you in the cockpit of an F-4 and in the heat of battle in the air and on the ground. Mark Bernet is able to give you the feeling that you have known the characters,your their best freinds, and they are telling you the story as you sit and have a cold one. Court bannister is the main character and the most believable: he si a major in the air force serving our country in the Veitnam War. STEEL TIGER is a book about the special bonds that are fromed between pilots an d co-pilots in the air and on the ground. It teaches that if you don't trust the person you fly with, than its most likely that you may end up dead or a prison of war. It portrays that the war is about people, those on both sides,(good or bad) and the stories that they can tell you. It shows that even though you have to fight the other side that they are not all bad people. The book was well writen and full of exiting dog fights and bar room fights that make you feel like you are in the air force and with the men of the Veitnam War.
