Review: What a great story - If you have any interest in military aviation , this is a must read . Honest , descriptive , exciting ,sad , what an aviation rollercoaster. Highly recommended Robin Olds , what a hero !
Review: A great book that you can’t put down! - This is, without doubt, a wonderfully written account of the life of Robin Olds. It covers his life from being a young boy in awe of his fighter Pilot Father, through West Point, his enlistment in the USAAF, his time fighting the Luftwaffe over Europe in the Second World War and then his post War experiences flying Jet fighters in the USA and in the UK, and finally finishing his career in Vietnam in the USAF. Although the book goes into quite a lot of detail it does so in a way to keep the readers interest, and also shows very clearly that he was not only a great Pilot, but a great leader of men and a fine human being. If this subject and period of history appeals to you buy this book! You really won’t regret it. Very highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never a dull moment in this book or the life of Robin Olds!
*by S***W on 6 October 2020*

This is probably the best book of its kind I have ever read. Full of action, frankness and honesty. I know for a fact Robin Olds was revered by his fellow pilots and ground crew. He lived life to the full and mostly at a frantic pace. You get a very good feel for what it was like both in WW2 and the Vietnam war for fighter pilots going face to face with the enemy. Robin also does not hold back on his views of the stupidity of the Vietnam War. So much loss of life, so much waste of money, and it achieved nothing. The layers of desk-bound top brass basically told the various Presidents what they wanted to hear. Robin told them the truth at the first opportunity he had. Highly, highly, recommend this book.
