Both a rare look into the elite world of fighter pilots and a thrilling first-person account of contemporary air combat, Viper Pilot soars—a true story of courage, skill, and commitment that will thrill U.S. Special Forces buffs, aviation and military history aficionados, and fans of the novels of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown.
Customer Reviews
Great Book
This book was great. I see a lot of comments about how self absorbed Hampton comes off. The dude is literally in the 3% pilots, pilots who are less than 1% of the active duty Air Force personnel, who are waaaaay less than 1% of the total population. He can be a little cocky it’s okay lol.
It was really was a great account of his entire career. It’s on par with O’Grady’s book in quality and execution of what it sets off do accomplish. It is worth the read if you are an aviation fan and/or a military history fan.
