Bruce Gordon flew fighters for 20 years in the USAF, including 132 combat missions in Vietnam.  His stories are true, backed up by photographs that he took from the cockpit of single-seat fighters, holding the stick between his knees so he could put both hands on the camera.  The book is easy reading, with a photo for every type of plane mentioned, so readers with limited aviation backgrounds can understand the situations.  Bruce fits his stories into the historical context of the times.  He includes exciting stories by his friends, stories which have not been published elsewhere.  This book is an excellent gift for people interested in military flying, from the Cold War to combat in Vietnam.
