Why read it?
1 author picked Viper Pilot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Few histories have been written about the F-16, much less from the perspective of the pilots who flew it in combat. Dan Hampton offers his unique insights into the world of American airpower. From Desert Storm to Operation Iraqi Freedom, Hampton logged 608 flight hours across 151 combat missions. From this deftly written account, we relive the days of “Shock and Awe” from the pilot’s seat.
From Mike's list on military aviation.
