| Summary |
Hard Air℗¡a book about extraordinary flying?flying under conditions that keep fighters on the carrier deck and rockets on the launch pad?a book about rescue missions and long, lonely flights to gather urgently needed information, about flights to places where no one should be flying: into hurricanes, firestorms, and deep, engine-killing cold. As a pilot himself, W. Scott Olsen brings to these tales a sense of wonder and adventure as well as a genuine, firsthand understanding of the dangers and rigors of such flying. |
