From World War II to high above the Earth to Vietnam, this memoir
tells the story of fighter pilot Howard C. "Scrappy" Johnson.
Beginning with his early years in Knoxville, Tennessee, the book
follows Johnson through his career at the University of Louisville
and his enlistment as an Air Force cadet at the onset of World War
II. After World War II, Johnson served a tour of duty in the skies
over Korea and in 1958 broke the world's altitude record by over
14,000 feet, soaring at 91,249 feet in his
F????????????????????????104A Starfighter. For this remarkable feat
he was awarded the Collier Trophy, aviation's highest honor. In
Vietnam, he was director of operations for the 388th Tactical
Fighter Wing and was instrumental in founding the Red River Valley
Fighter Pilots, a group dedicated to the remembrance of fallen and
captured airmen. Written with panache, this work records the
bigger-than-life adventures of one of America's finest.
