Just got my copy from Amazon yesterday (an early birthday present to myself). Terrrific book, was hard to put down last night.

I’ve always been intrigued by Olds, particularly his time in Viet Nam. A true warrior and a man’s man.

Recommend it to anyone interested in history, aviation or leadership.

I picked up the digital version for my new iPad and have gotten through the first few chapters - what a great book! What a great story, more importantly!!

No spoilers, but it gets better and better as you get into it.

This is the first book I bought for my iPad; I haven’t gotten far, but it’s a great read so far!

I was surprised when Olds basically called “Chappie” James out for being afraid to engage enemy aircraft in combat—seems to have stuck in his craw…
