Summary: Another hit from the next Stephen Coonts
Comment: In this sequel to "Punk's War," author Ward Carroll takes the reader into the world of the modern naval aviator. The pilots it describes come form the generation that grew up watching Tom Cruise "feeling the need for speed," only to discover that U.S. Navy pilots fight some of their most difficult battles when they're NOT in the cockpit. Carroll's three novels (Punk's War, Punk's Wing, and Punk's Fight) are must-reads for anyone who wants to know what the military pilot's world is truly like.
(NOTE: a previous reviewer fabricated a list of errors that either do not occur in the book or are greatly exaggerated. Carroll knows his stuff.)

Summary: Ward Carroll - Fighter pilot - riveting author
Comment: Reading a Carroll book is like being in the cockpit of a jet fighter - the pages race as you chase the action. His characters are fresh, but will remind veterans of the sea and air of people they've served with. It was the 'tongue in cheeks' comments that caught me and as I enjoyed the story, I was also searching for those tidbits from Navy life. You will discover yourself a Carroll fan, once you've read one of his books.

Summary: Great, fun fiction!
Comment: I enjoyed reading both of Mr Carroll's books. If you are looking for a easy, fictional read about Naval Aviation, this it it. What I really enjoyed is the behind the scenes action going on that Mr Carroll described, the backstabbing, trash talking that does go on in today's military. Don't get me wrong, the whole book is not about that, but he does not hold back. I have almost 17 years of active duty in the Marines, and I enjoy reading fictional acounts of what I am not allowed to say in public. This book may not be technically acurate, but so what! You want technically accurate, read a manual! You want a good read that you can't put down, this is it!! I am no expert on naval aviation, I just know a good book when I read one.
