During a 20-year career in uniform, Guy Snodgrass became one of the most skilled fighter pilots in the US Navy, commanding combat jets over some of the most dangerous war zones in the world - and he did it all using the lessons he learned at the Navy's Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN).

The real-life inspiration for the blockbuster films Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, the US Navy Fighter Weapons School trains the top one percent of our nation's fighter pilots. Over the course of 12 weeks, these pilots are drilled on aerial tactics, combat, and skills required to win in any organization. Ordinary people are transformed into world-class leaders. Pilots like Commander Snodgrass who remain on staff as TOPGUN instructors are held to even higher and more demanding standards.

It's the perfect gift for anyone looking to change careers, excel in the workplace, or find their way in the world after college graduation.

Topgun's Top 10

I'm active USAF & this is a VERY WORTH WHILE BOOK. Now, I'll just say that the Air Force has the best & most fierce pilots & fighter pilots hands down...just a little jab at the USN/USMC.

You're too low Cougar

Good stories from the cockpit on real-world missions. The lessons are familiar to all military members...nothing special there. Great listen overall if you want tales from the sky.
