Ygbsm!

Once you get past the author's obvious ego, the book does provide a good description of a late-Cold War and Global War on Terror Wild Weasel pilot. I'm sure there are many interesting things omitted from the text that remain secret, but that certainly can't be held against the author. Overall a good read and worthy of inclusion in any military aviation enthusiast's library.

Amazing book
