Flight of the Intruder [Audio Cassette]

Stephen Coonts (Author), Frank Converse (Narrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1988

This is the riveting novel of America's powerful high-tech Intruder attack planes, and the men who flew them in Vietnam. It's all here: the terror and exhilaration of wartime flying, and the frustrated rage at sudden, wasteful death. Frank Converse's dramatic reading fully evokes the knife-edge existence of pilot Jake Grafton, who finally decides to do things his way, on the riskiest mission of all. First a best-selling book and now a major motion picture in the tradition of The Hunt for Red October. 2 cassettes

This review is from: Flight of the Intruder (Bookcassette(r) Edition) (Audio Cassette)

Steven Coonts takes every would be fighter pilot on a ride not soon forgotten. The story is fast moving and covers the techinal aspects of flying today's high tech war planes in such a way that even a student pilot would feel right at home in the cockpit of the Navy A-6 Intruder. The combat missions are fierce and realistic to the point the listener dosen't relax until Jake Braxton lands safely on the Aircraft Carrier deck after each flight.
