Trade Paperback. Condición: Fine. Assumed First Edition. 256 Pages. Take an unparalleled look at the incredible journey from civilian to combat-ready through the eyes of an American Fighter Pilot. Author Captain Taylor Fox chronicles his experiences while training to fly the F-16 and F-22 fighter jets in the United States Air Force. From doing push-ups in the mud to flying the world's most advanced warfighting machine, Fox weaves a remarkable tale of life as an airman, both on the ground and in the air. Uniquely honest and without prejudice, Captain Fox's story bears personal truths, incorporating humor, trepidation, reflection, and a firm dedication to good storytelling. Each new entry leads to another revelation and lesson learned, portrayed with humility, honesty, and the author's own authentic voice. Unlock the adventure of a lifetime as you race through the clouds at Mach 2. "Combat Ready is a uniquely entertaining read explaining the life lessons of becoming a warfighter in $150 million supersonic jets and how they can relate to your business and personal life. These young men are held to a higher standard, a standard this book identifies and organizations can learn to strive toward." -Rob K. Voss, Executive Vice-President of Sams's Club, Inc "A must read for anyone interested in the path to become, and experience of being, an American fighter pilot. Combat Ready is an in-depth look at what it takes to join one of the most elite communities in the world." -Colonel Peter B. Field, USM (ret.), F-18, A-4, and F-4 Pilot.
