Reviews for To Fly and Fight

 

Publishers Weekly says: “Defines (in understandable technical detail) what ‘combat flying skill’ really means and conveys the unique mindset a fighter pilot needs in order to survive.”

 

Library Journal says: “Anderson’s accounts give the reader an insider’s view. An exceptional account of an exceptional man. Highly recommended.”

 

Air & Space says: “A clear, straightforward narrative of what it’s like to fly a Mustang…Good reading for aviation buffs or for anyone who just enjoys a good story.”

 

National Defense says: “Remembrances related so convincingly and with such clarity that they will keep you at one sitting.”

 

Editor’s Copy says: “Probably the most informative of all the books yet written about fighter pilots…unusually well written…better than fiction.”

 

Robert Serling, author, “The President’s Plane is Missing” says: “Anderson’s autobiography could be a story of almost any man who ever flew a fighter, and it is superbly written. And despite all the millions and millions of words written about World War II combat flying and military aviation in general, this one is a new look with new experiences that read like a novel”

 

Stephen Coonts, author, “Flight of the Intruder” says: “A terrific book that deserves a place of honor on every pilot’s bookshelf.”

 

Ernest K. Gann, author, “Fate is the Hunter” says: “To Fly & Fight is one hell of a reading excitement. It gallops boldly through hostile skies and still takes moments to bring us the incomparable beauties aloft.”

 

Maj. Gen. Oliver Lewis, USAF Ret., writing in “National Defense” says: “Remembrances related so convincingly and with such clarity that they will keep you at one sitting.”

 

Bill Wagstaff, Aviation International News, says: “the finest first-person account of combat flying since Robert Scott’s moving God is My Co-Pilot.”
