Two-tour Marine F-4 pilot Major John Trotti, DFC, brings out the frustrations and bravery of the American aerial warrior in Vietnam.

Says one Good Read reviewer, who gave it 5/5: “Trotti wrote this book as a response to the question ‘What was it like to fly one of those thundering smokers in combat?’, and he excels in doing so. With two tours of duty and over 600 missions, Trotti knows his stuff, and he manages a delicate balance between the sheer exhilaration of flight, the mental strain of staying ahead of a 20-ton supersonic war machine, and the overall senselessness of the war itself…”

And another, also 5/5: “As a pilot myself, this book had me sweating. John tells us the ins and outs of operational and tactical air combat and his descriptions during ACM are some of the best I've ever read. This book really shows you how challenging and stressful the environment of the fighter pilot is. The physical and mental demands on a fighter pilot are tremendous and John narrates some hair-raising moments beautifully. It's honest, raw, and palpable. Highly recommended.”
