Description

Together with his stirring, rapturous first book--originally released in 1956 --James Salter recognized herself whilst the most impressive prose stylist since Hemingway. Four years later, it's obvious that he also designed the absolute most enduring fiction actually about aerial warfare.Captain Cleve Connell comes in Korea with an individual objective: to become an expert, among that elite fraternity of aircraft pilots who've downed five MIGs. But as his other airmen stand up kill after kill--occasionally under questionable conditions--Cleve's fortune runs poor. His guts are questioned by other pilots.
