Captain Cleve Connell arrives in Korea with a single goal: to
become an ace, one of that elite fraternity of jet pilots who have
downed five MIGs. But as his fellow airmen rack up kill after kill
- sometimes under dubious circumstances - Cleve's luck runs bad.
Other pilots question his guts. Cleve comes to question himself.
And then in one icy instant 40,000 feet above the Yalu River, his
luck changes forever. Filled with courage and despair, eerie beauty
and corrosive rivalry, James Salter's luminous first novel is a
landmark masterpiece in the literature of war.
