Summary: Great story, greatly told history
Review: As a kid I walked the flightlines at Wheelus, Spangdahlem and Nellis with my father. The desire to fly fighters was instilled so deeply as to be there still. Though my eyesight failed my dream, Tom Wilsons trilogy brought me as close as I will ever come. Through page after page the sights, sounds and smells returned to me as if it were only yesterday. I only wish my father had lived to enjoy what is not only a great story but a greatly told history.... Thank You Mr. Wilson,

Summary: Tom Wilson has put me back in the cockpit.
Review: Tom Wilson's book takes me back to the sights, sounds and smells of Southeast Asia. He makes me feel the skin of an F-105 Thunderchief through my gloves and smell the familiar odor of the JP-4 fuel as I perform my pre-flight walk around inspection. I feel the drips of salty perspiration rolling down my face from under my helmet as I sit at the end of the runway waiting while the armorors pull the pins from my bombs. The tension builds. For those who haven't done it, this is the way to experience the daily life of those pilots who fought and died in the skies over North Vietnam. The ready comes home alive
