Omschrijving

The true story of a 1970's youth, who follows his dream to fly Marine Corps fighters! Surprisingly, he earns both Air Force and Navy Wings and is catapulted into the cockpit of the extraordinary, supersonic, McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom!

Shadow's tale includes hair raising descriptions of serving in Viet Nam and flying 180 combat missions. He describes how an exceptional Marine Fighter Pilot Legend focused a Squadron on perfecting Phantom Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM). He vividly describes engagements with other fighter squadrons from both the Air Force and Navy, including the legendary Naval Top Gun squadron. His unique career journey thrusts him into an Air Force F4 Phantom squadron. This provides an opportunity to compare and contrast Marine and Air Force Phantom squadrons training and tactics. Shadow finishes his career in command of an elite, colorful, Marine Reserve F-4 Phantom squadron, dominating in the air and outrageous on the ground.

This is an exciting exploration of the unique experience of becoming and flourishing as a fighter pilot. It highlights the thrills, dangers, and close calls that make up this world. It plunges one into the wild, mix of personalities and their escapades that create an unforgettable adventure. It is a moving tribute to the deep and enduring camaraderie that is shared by those privileged to serve together. This is an intimate celebration of the forgotten world of the F-4 Phantom pilot! Enjoy the flight!
