Topgun - An American Story (Hardcover)

"Top Gun" became a household name with the worldwide success of the
film of the same title. The 1986 blockbuster starring Tom Cruise as
a hotshot U.S. Navy fighter pilot was so popular (drawing $356
million worldwide) that recruiters set up desks in theaters that
were showing it, looking to attract the next generation of combat
aviators. The movie did for Navy pilots what The Right Stuff did
for astronauts. With the 50th anniversary of the establishment of
the real TOPGUN-as the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons program was
known-approaching in 2019, and with Jerry Bruckheimer's sequel, Top
Gun: Maverick, set to shoot next year, this is the time to publish
the real story of the actual risk takers, disruptors, and
innovators who revolutionized the art of aerial combat and created
the center for excellence and incubator of leadership that thrives
to this day. Here is the inside story of TOPGUN, told by the man
who was picked to lead it at the start, from war to peace and back
to war again, on and off the flight line, and through all six of
our decades. Though Pedersen was a part of it at the beginning,
some other great pilots carried on our work and he is eager to pay
them tribute and make the book a celebration of our whole
community. It's a great story, full of interesting characters and
exciting history that American should know.
