Donald Engen has written a detailed book about a fascinating period in naval aviation history. He was there to help make things happen in those formative years when the jets were new. This book does even more than give credit to those who dedicated their lives to the advancement of Carrier based Naval aviation during the transition from propeller to jet aircraft. It also shows the delicate balance which occurs when juggling a military career and a personal life. As a reader, you are there with him. I give it a solid review rating of 10 for pure enjoyment.
