DESCRIPTION:
Kindle Customer said A joy to read about how great life can be. Col. Harry's book is, quite simply, a wonderful book about life and integrity. I gave it 5 stars because of my gut reaction when I finished the book-I felt very good inside for the time I spent sharing Col. Haney's life.. One of my heros! James C. Richards Mr. Earl was one of my bosses in the Air Force, so I lived a small part of this book with him. He is a very modest man, so I had to read his book to get the whole story of his career, even though I shared an office with him for a couple of years. His book brought back many memories in. Bravo This is a great book!!I loved it,and I'm a fighter pilot contemporary of Earl's.I'm so glad that he had the courage and talent to document this extremely important phase of fighter aviation.Thanks Earl.

. About the Author Colonel Robert Earl Haney served in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1982--a long and decorated career. Lee Courtnage lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico
The thirty-year period that marked the advent of the supersonic jet in military aviation was a particularly dangerous one for fighter pilots. As a test pilot, a member of the USAF Thunderbirds, a fighter pilot with more than 200 combat missions in the Vietnam War, and a Fighter Weapons School ("Top Gun") graduate and instructor, he was at the center of the most significant periods in military aviation.. This engaging memoir relates the life story of a famed pilot who flew supersonic jets for the United States Air Force during the Cold War through Vietnam and beyond. As they learned to navigate speeds up to Mach 2, discovering the performance limits and weaknesses of the aircraft, their courage and stamina were tested to the limit
