About This Item
John Wiley & Sons, New York - 047152641X 1990 Hardcover, 9¼" x 6¼", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode, and reinforced hinges. Some minor stain to pages; lean to spine. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Light-grey publisher's boards with red type to dark-blue spine linen, 20 b&w photographs on glossy stock, and short glossary. This book claims to be the first true-life account of the US Navy's fighter pilots in Vietnam. It also tells how the creation of the US Navy's Top Gun fighter pilot school helped to forge a dramatic victory in the Vietnam air war. Filled with pilot's first-hand accounts, this book takes the reader inside the cockpit - buffeted by G forces and battling the stick - in a narrative more gripping than fiction.
