A TOP GUN!

Having been 'soaked' in boring aviation reference (i.e. Jane's) for years, it was great to discover this book. You won't find to much dry technical specs, or second hand descriptions of flight from authors who've never been close to a cockpit. "Wildcats to Tomcats" is authored by three who have been there, and have had every title worth having in Naval Aviation. Wally Shirra, Zeke Cormier, and Phil Wood are three of the finest aviators ever to take flight...and all three share their experiences in this amazing book. Every aspect of their glorious and dynamic lives they share! And they don't attempt to paint a rosy picture of the U.S. Navy. All three describe their feats with absolute honesty, no gripes held back. If you're buying only one aviation book this year, this is the one! If you're in love with anything "FLY NAVY", let these TOPGUNS tell it to you. GET THIS BOOK!
