An interesting book -- available for free via Amazon at the time I downloaded it. Some editing needed to be done. The word "an" should be used in front of a vowel -- not in front of "an SAM...".Sorry -- but I could not give the book 4 stars with major errors in dealing with military flying a Hercules aircraft. Pilots fly in the LEFT SEAT. So in Chapter 50 when Mayo jumps at the chance to fly left-hand seat, Mayo is the newbie. Sivigny is the pilot so Mayo in his big chance to CO-PILOT would jump at the chance to fly the RIGHT seat.And just a few paragraphs below that Mayo gives a fuel report to a crew member as "two-four-oh-oh-niner". I checked with someone who was part of a C-130 crew for literally YEARS. He said that this makes no sense. The report would be more like "fuel at 2400 pounds".These three errors are simple to catch & the latter two only need research. As for the story itself, the other reviewers have covered it well. A pretty good story.
