This a wonderfull book about military aviation. Grover Tate was a flight engineer and then navigator and spent almost his entire career flying in various flight test programs for some big name aircraft. The airframes he flew in operations and in test programs for include the B-26, B-58, B-36, and F-111. This book is simply a colleciton of his flying stories. They are in turns griping, hilarious, tragic, exctiting, and all are fascinating. He paints wonderfull images of the people he worked and flew with. For anyone who has a connection to flying, and military flying in particlar, these people will really ring true. He has done a fine job of capturing the fun loving, commited, serious, and altruistic nature that so many flyers have. This is a really great book.
