Why read it?
2 authors picked Flight of the Old Dog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because the scenes of ariel combat are so realistic. I learned a lot about fighter aircraft and how the Russians could have gotten the better of us with newer technology until one of our own old aircraft was retrofitted to make her superior. Once I got into the fight scenes, I could not put the book down until I found out “who won!”
From Elizabeth's list on stories of flight by aircraft and spaceships.
From the first page, I loved the cool, unflappable main character, handling his B-52 BUFF and overcoming obstacles that threatened his mission.
A genuine techno-thriller, I became totally immersed in the book, enjoying every plot twist. I also relished the interaction between the principal characters, which was not always smooth but blended into a believable story of courage, persistence, and dedication.
This book led me to read further works by this author, and most did not disappoint. This was a perfect book to curl up to on a cool evening with a tumbler of whiskey at my side.
From Stefan's list on military aviation and its effect on the modern political era.
