A true story told by the author in his own words. Share his life with him as a small boy growing up on his share-cropper Dad's mule-and-horse Georgia farm. Live his dream of becoming a pilot - a fighter pilot. Feel his disappointments time and time again in his struggle to realize his dream; with eventual success through perseverance and dogged determination. Rejoice with him in marrying his boyhood dream-girl and together raising a great family. Grieve with him on losing a son and wife; and the eventual joy at finding and marrying a lovely English nurse. Know his many close calls in life, and during his 33+ years of military service - literally dodging bullets; ejecting from a jet aircraft; surviving a fiery aircraft crash; ground combat; and prostate cancer. This is a story for everyone: young, old and in-between; military and civilian.
