"This was an excellent book, wish there could have been pictures to go with it. It was well written, and for a fighter pilot "wannabe" like me, it was totally interesting, exciting, educational, and very hard to put down. I totally admire, and envy, men like Jack Broughton. He did what I always wanted to do, but could not, because of poor eyesight."
"I have always been interested in aircraft and war, I have read volumes on the Second World War, and the immense difficulties they had. Having read some books about Korea, and the air war there, one would have thought Vietnam would have been a walk in the park. Although I think the pilots of the USAF, Navy and Marines couls hold their own and better against the 'NVA pilots' of whatever country of origin, I never realised that the one thing they found so difficult to compete with was the Flak and the Sam missiles, how they got through this 'Iron curtain' is amazing, and its to the credit of the pilots that they braved this barrage more than once a day. A special word has to be said to the three other groups who deliberately put themselves in harms way - the recon pilots who went in before and after a strike, the 'Wild Weasel' jocks who said more or less 'come and get me' and played cat and mouse with the Sams and the Rescue teams who picked up the fortunate ones. Col Jack Broughton brings the Highs and lows of life in a fighter squadrons daily routine into stark focus, the hum drum, the emotional and the downright scary, the things these guys did for God & Country knowing full well they were being sent on what could only be described as 'suicide missions' - frightening!"
