A TOP GUN!, Feb 16 1999
By rda58388@csun.edu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wildcats to Tomcats: The Tailhook Navy (Hardcover)
Having been 'soaked' in boring aviation reference (i.e. Jane's) for years, it was great to discover this book. You won't find to much dry technical specs, or second hand descriptions of flight from authors who've never been close to a cockpit. "Wildcats to Tomcats" is authored by three who have been there, and have had every title worth having in Naval Aviation. Wally Shirra, Zeke Cormier, and Phil Wood are three of the finest aviators ever to take flight...and all three share their experiences in this amazing book. Every aspect of their glorious and dynamic lives they share! And they don't attempt to paint a rosy picture of the U.S. Navy. All three describe their feats with absolute honesty, no gripes held back. If you're buying only one aviation book this year, this is the one! If you're in love with anything "FLY NAVY", let these TOPGUNS tell it to you. GET THIS BOOK!

A good solid Naval Aviator read., Nov 14 2011
By DocRWM "docrwm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wildcats to Tomcats: The Tailhook Navy (Hardcover)
The last review was written a dozen years ago. I ran across this title while researching Wally Schirra and was surprised to find that it was his first autobiography. Having bought it for the section (its in thirds) by Wally Schirra I found myself very happily reading the sections by Zeke Cormier and Phil Wood. WWII, Korea, and Vietnam combat off carriers, Blue Angels, test pilot duty, and space flight - this book as it all. If you can find a copy and are a naval aviation buff you'll enjoy it a great deal.
