5.0 out of 5 stars Fighter pilot's country music, gotta love it!, May 11, 2003

By	Christian D. Orr (OFallon, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an Air Force officer, son of a WWII vet (Dad also worked in Vietnam as a civilian) and lifelong military aviation history buff, I love every bit of this songbook and the CDs themselves. The song lyrics and accompanying stories vary from hilarious to poignant to informative to inspiring, and sometimes all of the above, and in every case top-notch entertainment.

Having sung many of Dick's songs along with F-15 drivers at parties down at Tyndall AFB, FL, I can tell you that the book and the music capture the fighter pilot's mentality spot-on!

Those goody-two-shoes prudes who think officers "shouldn't drink, smoke, or cuss" obviously don't know Dick Jonas! They bloody well ought to, as should all the old anti-war protestors who bad-mouthed our Vietnam vets, and the LBJ-worshippers of the world and any surviving members of his Cabinet, especially Robert S. McNamara!
