Book Description

June 1, 1998
Fast-paced action adventure novel set aboard a US Navy Supercarrier on station in the South Atlantic. The story is told by someone who's "been there and done that" and the tale will have you turning pages until you solve the mystery at the very end. Lots of aerial action for those armchair aviators and features characters who will seem like old friends by the story's end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very visual, wake up and smell the jet fuel., October 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Wing Commander (Paperback)
Once you pick this book up you can't put it down. A very fast read. You can almost feel the G forces in the planes and the sun on your face.This book was written by someone who was on carrires and shows by taking you below decks into the private lives of the main characters. If you like the work of Tom Clancy or Stephen Coonts strap this book on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wing Commander, September 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wing Commander (Paperback)
I had a hard time getting into this story, had a hard time staying in the story, and was happy when I finished the book, so I rated the book at three stars. I am also willing to say that it may have been just me and my view on the world as a whole or even my view on the military that made the book so hard in which to become interested.
