A great book for anyone interested in becoming a pilot. It tells you all the training you will need to go through and the difficulty of becoming a pilot. It has great pictures too.

This was another book I gifted my son after his 2011 Class Recognition. He has wanted to become an Air Force pilot his whole life and I figured that he may need a few questions answered occasionally. I bought this book thinking it would be a good read. Little did I know how much information is inside. I really can't decide if the information is as important as the strikingly beautiful photography. I was just as surprised when I read so much in the book about the AF Academy. Much of what my son will do or experience while at the academy is contained in this book too. A wonderful book, make sure you add this one to your son or daughter's library, or buy one for yourself.

Great book! Both my kids are working towards the Air Force Academy, and this book is great because it has a ton of picture that help with identifying aircraft! A must have for the book case!!

I purchased this book after reading the "To Be a Naval Aviator" book hoping it would be as good as the other book but I was disppointed. The pictures are good, however, the lengths the authors go to cater to political correctness spoil its content. Instead of covering the process to become a USAF pilot, the book pretty much summerizes the efforts of this branch of the military to promote diversity in pilot training.

If you desire to get a good perspective on military pilot training, read the Naval Aviator book from the same series. It is written by a Naval Aviator in layman's terms and describes the process from start to finish in each of the Navy's avaition "pipelines".

Great insight into what it takes to be a US Air Force Pilot.
