For professional aviators and aviation buffs alike, this biography
brings to life the legendary aircraft that scored the highest kill
ratio of any U.S. fighter aircraft in the Vietnam War. The book is
filled with authentic recreations of Crusader-MiG fights and vivid
descriptions of the people and events that are part of the F-8
story. As the Navy's first supersonic aircraft, the Crusader holds
an honored spot in carrier flying. Tillman recalls the years of
frustration and experimentation spent in refining the aircraft and
its gunnery system, and then takes the reader through key actions
in Vietnam where seasoned pilots handled their"rambunctious steeds"
with scarcely a glance in the cockpit.
