Book Review:
''Flight of the Intruder'' by Stephen Coonts is a gripping, smashing classic of military aviation fiction. The A-6 Intruder pilots—an elite cadre of Navy fliers, rowdy on shore, restless on ship, hunters in the Vietnam skies. Jake ''Cool Hand'' Grafton is one of the best: a quiet man strapped into the cockpit of a million-dollar killing machine, slamming through the air just beneath the speed of sound.

But after too many senseless missions, too many pointless deaths, Grafton is a man ready to explode. Suddenly, with a renegade bombardier named Tiger, he's flying his Intruder deep into North Vietnam on one last, hell-bent strike for honor—and victory.

Coonts, a former naval aviator, delivers strong, vivid writing that is authentic and gripping. This novel catapulted him to the top of the bestseller lists. If you enjoy military aviation fiction, war novels, or the Jake Grafton series, Flight of the Intruder is a must-read. Highly recommended!
