I love aviation and this book just stoked the fire. Highly highly recommend to anyone who likes flying or aviation. Jul 20, Kristof rated it really liked it.

Great book on how the life was for a Viper pilot during Desert Storm. A lot of technical flying details, tension, true feelings and anecdotes. Would get 5 stars if it would be a little less "America is great" minded. Jan 14, Cathy Hartel rated it liked it. Great account of life as a pilot during the Gulf War. The tiny font size used to print the book made it hard to get through; a larger typeface would have meant a better review.

This is a really enjoyable book to read. Rosenkranz provides great detail and insight, really wrote a book that doesn't blatantly glorify war and writes in a way that creates a great visual. May 12, Jim Cunningham rated it it was amazing.

The most detailed account of aerial operations in the Persian Gulf War from the personal level that I have read to date. Very comprehensive from both the technical and personal viewpoints. Rosenkranz also pulls no punches and gives refreshingly frank assessments that may not always be what readers who think everything went perfectly may expect.

I don't know if he reads and responds to raves but I did want to mention that I think he might have been a little hard on his wing commander whom he rarely saw or spoke to and whom he criticized for poor leadership for that reason. It was my experience in the USAF in SAC as a missileer and TAC as a staff officer back in the 70s that the wing commander was off base as often as he was present because he was always interacting with higher headquarters somewhere. Of necessity the Vice Commander was seen more often by the crews because he stayed behind and acted on the wing commander's behalf.

Yet it was the Wing Commander who would be held responsible for any failures by anyone in the organization.

I am not an aviator. This book written by Keith Rosenkranz wa an honest memoir of an F pilot. I didn't find the terminology difficult nor the avionics. I found the content , honest and fulfilling and exciting. The book is not saturated with technical data that would over cook a reader.

The book does move rather smoothly and quickly to trace "Rosey's" call sign preparation, and deployment to the first gulf war. It doesn't waste time getting him there. One the other hand, Rosey is a family man and throughout his book he speaks often of missing them and wanting the war to be over. Rosey also finds out the after all he's done to train and become a lethal fighter pilot, the morality of war, and the death he deals with begin a new conflict with himself.

I highly recommend this book. The author balanced the pride he shared being a proud fighter pilot, an American, a husband and father and now a civilian once again. Thanks for a great book.. Rosenkranz attempts to balance this penchant for detail with honest accounts of his day to day life in the desert, along with some of his personal views regarding the war.

Be prepared though, the engrossing detail is the primary draw of the book.
