Description

Once again mixing the tragic with the hilarious, the serious with the absurd, Tooker portrays the daily drama of naval aviation in his second collection of true stories. He spins a fine yarn about what happens when planes collide, gas gauges show empty, airfields are closed, or the right training manual hasn’t yet been written. People who fly will see themselves in these young heroes & hellions who flew for the U.S. Navy & Marines in Korea, Vietnam, & Afghanistan. Everyone else will enjoy sharing in unforgettable experiences, framed in history, that only happen to pilots. Among the most memorable stories is the recounting of a large air raid at Sinuiju, North Korea, where Tooker himself learned he was not bulletproof. “A must read.” Photos.
