Through the eyes of pilot and Chief Safety Officer Tuck Westerfield, we see military life. We see the sacrifices he makes, the politicking of the brass, the sacrifices his family makes, how the loss of friends and fellow pilots affects him and his family, how he copes (or doesn't cope as the case may be). Tuck survives to "retire" from the Air Force and move on to flying for an airline. He later gets to meet the son of one of his protégés and pass on the man's first set of wings and a coin that flew with Tuck on each of his flights throughout his life.

At a small air base in Louisiana, family man and seasoned fighter pilot, Tuck Westerfield's life could literally crash down around him. In this business of flying fighter jets, the odds of staying alive are stacked against him. Haunted by the memories of dead friends killed in air mishaps, this Vietnam vet and father of three must deal with a devious commander, an animal-crazed neighbor, whose husband hates pilots, a beautiful, but suspicious wife and a rebellious teenage daughter. The last thing he needs is another war. But when Iraq invades Kuwait in the middle of a muggy Louisiana summer, duty calls. Tuck and the other pilots in his squadron head to the Middle East. Back in Louisiana, Gina Westerfield and other military wives learn that war is hell on the home front, too. Later, when tragedy strikes, everyone at Beauregard Air Force Base must pull together and live on or forever be consumed with grief. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
