Every year, 1,000 fresh potential pilots undergo the intensive, six-month,
58-flight, $2 million-a-head fighter pilot basic training, where they are
pushed to the extreme limits, propelled by the desire to earn their place
in a warrior subculture. From the investigative
science and medical writer, Peter A. Aleshire, comes Eye of the Viper, an
intriguing book about the making of an F-16 fighter pilot.
Blending intense human drama with a wealth of information about the
world's most expensive, deadly, high-tech Air Force, the book follows a
batch of fresh new recruits at Luke Air Force Base, the world's largest
fighter wing and the single most important source of fighter pilots that
have made the American Air Force virtually unchallenged in the skies, as
they experience the exhaustive six-month training process. Get an
insider's look at how these rookies face mental and physical demands,
exhilaration and failure, joy and pain, sweat and tears while they are
transformed into stealthy, fierce, American fighting machines. Each
recruit is eager to climb into the jets they love at a moment's notice and
fly halfway around the world to drop laser-guided bombs down any
smokestack the president specifies. However, only a few select individuals
have what it takes to be dubbed "protectors of national security." The
stakes are high and only a few will succeed.
