Angels Three Six: Confessions of a Cold War Fighter Pilot

Angels Three Six: Confessions of a Cold War Fighter Pilot

Strap into a mortar-fired parachute, a rocket powered ejection seat and fly with Col Chuck Lehman in the fastest single engine jet fighter ever built, the F-106 Dart. Feel the exhilaration of hurtling through the blue at a mile every 2.35 seconds, the â‚¬Å“Gâ‚¬Â forces and the satisfaction of keeping the bad guys out of our airspace.
Youâ‚¬ll laugh at some of these stories, sweat out a few and ask, â‚¬Å“How could he have been so stupid?â‚¬Â in others. These confessions bare it all. Sense what it was like to live and work as a fighter pilot in an environment of huge egos, unbridled confidence and an eagerness to push it to the edgeâ‚¬"and sometimes over it. As Chuck says, â‚¬Å“Just keep the pointy end forward.â‚¬Â Also get acquainted with the F-102, F-86, Harrier, T-33 too, and even the ubiquitous Gooney Bird.
