uhhello Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Finished it the other night. Great stuff. Not a pilot but would have loved to be a fly on the wall out there during the years. Really wish the maintainers would have ponied up some info for the book. I'm sure some of the miracles they pulled off on a daily basis will be good fodder for another book :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACCBoomer Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It seems to be back ordered from every source and by luck I found a copy at a local book store. So far it is one of the best reads I have ever had! Great work on the book, I just can't seem to put it down. It will come in real handy burning holes in the sky during Mission Employment next month!

Butters Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Steve, Thanks again for the great book. This book actually tied some very intersting things together for me. When I was at Safety School in Jan 01 on of the instructors there was the Flight Safety Officer for the F-117 program. Funny, the way he described the interview process and the trip to the hangar to see the aircraft (what the hell is that thing) was spot on from your book. He also hinted that his job included some other things that were still classified. Makes me wonder if they started brining safety officers out there after the Mig-17 crash.

MKopack Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Nice write-up on Steve Davies' Red Eagles on the AirForceTimes website today: http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2009/01/...s_intro_010409/ Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BQZip01 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Picked up a copy at the BX and read it (before I knew there was a thread on it...). Excellent read if you want to know about this kind of history. It gets a little dry when it gets into who's in charge of what and who's the next guy who took over XYZ... Other than that, ya'll will enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bunk22 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 IMO, very good book. Read it a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhistory Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Related in that it's the same author, Steve Davies: In the current LOGBOOK Magazine, there is a good excerpt from Steve's "F-15 Eagle Engaged" book as well as a review of the book. I also recommend the magazine, started a few years ago by a former USN ASW pilot (helos, I think, but Dave might have driven P-3s) who now flies commercially. LOGBOOK puts out some pretty good "there I was" stories, some entertaining aviation historical stuff, and some good photos. Sorry to sound like a pimp for it, but I'd like to see a flyer make good at telling the stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fuse Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Sorry for thread necro... I was going through the May issue of Air & Space and saw a writeup for this in the Reviews and Previews section.

Steve Davies Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks, Gents. I've had a number of emails about the list from Red Eagles, all of whom echo the comments here; how typical of the men whose mantra was "be humble, you cool fucker". The truth is that I just wrote a book - these guys are the ones who made history. to them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
