"Nickel On The Grass" is a series of vignettes that capture the
life of an extraordinary aviator, fighter pilot and leader, Colonel
Phil Handley. In a career that spanned 26 years "Hands" earned a
reputation as an exceptional pilot and leader in war and peace. I
do not know anybody who served with him who does not admire him for
his dedication, integrity and courage. The central theme of the
stories he relates is that the fraternity of true fighter pilots is
made up of men who share a love of adventure, have exceptional
flying skills, are willing to risk all rather than admit defeat and
believe earning the respect of their peers is their greatest
accomplishment. The really good ones possess a sixth sense about
people and machines that gives them an edge over mere mortals in
the air and on the ground. This is a book about a man who lived
most of the stories and counts among his friends and acquaintances
the central characters in the others. It has been my privilege to
have been his friend and fellow fighter pilot for the past 30
years. General Ron Fogleman, USAF, Ret. Chief of Staff, USAF,
1994-1997
