Description
In Air Combat, veteran and military author Robert F. Dorr has collected dozens of interviews from combat veterans who have faced the enemy in the skies above-from the first days of World War II to the current war on terror. Each story offers a firsthand account of what it's like to be in the thick of the fight, describes the history, strengths, and weaknesses of each man's plane in detail, and offers readers a rare glimpse into the minds and hearts of those who dare to fight in the air.
First Sentence
At 8:00 A.M. that morning, second lieutenants George Welch and Kenneth Taylor-both new fighter pilots-were awakened at Wheeler Field, Hawaii, by exploding bombs.
