Way beyond the usual Vietnam War shoot 'em up!Does it have electrifying high adventure?Oh yes - the eye-popping action of combat naval aviation and the harrowing dangers of testing the world's hottest jets. But the book is much more.It is a cleverly written and refreshingly honest story of the author's life and times as he struggles his way from rural Minnesota to the blazing skies over North Vietnam. 138 combat missions; the Navy's first Chief Test Pilot. No swaggering bravado here; this is a fresh, insightful look at life, luck and guts - in Vietnam and beyond.
