Synopsis
Sherwood recounts the story of American Air Force pilots in the Korean War and the development of a lasting fighter-pilot culture The United States Air Force fought as a truly independent service for the first time during the Korean War. Ruling the skies in many celebrated aerial battles, even against the advanced Soviet MiG-15, American fighter pilots reigned supreme. Yet they also destroyed virtually every major town and city in North Korea, demolished its entire crop irrigation system and killed close to one million civilians. The self-confidence and willingness to take risks which defined the lives of these men became a trademark of the fighter pilot culture, what author John Darrell Sherwood here refers to as the flight suit attitude. In Officers in Flight Suits, John Darrell Sherwood takes a closer look at the flight suit officer's life by drawing on memoirs, diaries, letters, novels, unit records, and personal papers as well as interviews with over fifty veterans who served in the Air Force in Korea. Tracing their lives from their training to the flight suit culture they developed, the author demonstrates how their unique lifestyle affected their performance in battle and their attitudes toward others, particularly women, in their off-duty activities., Explores the culture of fighter pilots during the Korean War, drawing on memoirs, diaries, letters, novels, unit records, and interviews with some 50 veterans who served in the Air Force in Korea.

- r***c (366)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExcellent seller. This book was very well priced, and it is in excellent condition. I appreciate how carefully the seller packaged the book. It arrived promptly and exactly as listed. Completely satisfied!
- n***i (2302)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufCurrently going through a Kurosawa/Mifune phase. Like Ford/Wayne and most recently, Spielberg/Hanks they produced a string of matchless films before they stopped working together in 1965, a huge loss for cinema. Many books have been written about Kurosawa but this is the only book I know of that focuses on their magical partnership. Unfortunately it’s difficult to find at a decent price. Reprint anyone? The seller had the book securely packed and it was shipped promptly. Seller recommended.Emperor & Wolf: Lives & Films of Akira Kurosawa & Toshiro Mifune by Galbraith SC (Nr. 395366120566)
- s***s (0)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThank You, the book (East of Eden hardcover) is in great condition as described. The price was more than fair. Your careful packing and fast shipping made this a great experience. 10/10 would purchase from Regroovablebooks again!
