Historia
The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior—a deep reconnaissance scout and attack aircraft—was legendary to those it supported. Regularly flying mere feet off of the ground while intentionally drawing enemy fire, almost everyone called Kiowa pilots crazy. Responsible for hunting elusive enemy fighters and protecting those under their charge, Kiowa crews displayed a fierce and intense devotion that was unparalleled.

Historia
The training to become a fighter pilot is among the most competitive and difficult in the world with less than one-in-a-thousand succeeding. Pushing a cutting-edge jet to its limits at over 1,000 mph means that every split-second decision can have catastrophic consequences. This extreme environment has forged a group of warriors who for the last 50 years have been considered at the apex of decision-making theory and practice. In The Art of Clear Thinking Hasard Lee distills what he’s learned during his career flying some of the Air Force’s most advanced aircraft.

Historia
On February 15, 1991, Captain Steve Phillis was leading his wingman, Lieutenant Rob Sweet, on their 30th combat mission of Desert Storm flying the A-10 Warthog. They were tasked with attacking Iraq's vaunted Medina Division of the Republican Guards - by far their most dangerous mission of the war. Near the end of their attacks, Rob was forced to eject from his aircraft and began a five-minute parachute ride down to the troops he and Steve had just finished bombing. Steve immediately sprang into action to save the life of his wingman.

The mighty, iconic A-10 Warthog was first thrust into battle in Operation Desert Storm. The men who took it through walls of flak and surface-to-air missiles to help defeat the world's fourth-largest army were as untested as their airplanes, so they relied on personal determination and the amazing A-10 to accomplish their missions, despite the odds.

When you delete your adjectives, who are you? Most people limit themselves to their labels. They embrace barriers based on the box that society puts them in. But your adjectives aren’t your destiny. In Delete the Adjective: A Soldier’s Adventures in Ranger School, Lisa Jaster proves your merit should always trump your labels. Lisa didn’t confine herself to the adjectives of “middle-aged” or “female.” Instead, she became one of the first three women to graduate from the United States Army Ranger program. For those six months in the program, her adjectives didn’t matter.

Sure to rank as one of the greatest aviation memoirs ever written, Viper Pilot is an Air Force legend's thrilling eyewitness account of modern air warfare. From 1986 to 2006, Lt. Col. Dan Hampton was a leading member of the Wild Weasels, the elite Air Force fighter squadrons whose mission is recognized as the most dangerous job in modern air combat. Weasels are the first planes sent into a war zone, flying deep behind enemy lines purposely seeking to draw fire from surface-to-air missiles and artillery. They must skillfully evade being shot down - and then return to destroy the threats, thereby making the skies safe for everyone else to follow.

In The Patriot's Creed, Kris Paronto uses the seven core army values that all soldiers learn in basic combat training, and the experiences of other servicemen and women and first responders, to explain how anyone can improve themselves and the world around them, and live a heroic life. The stakes are dramatic for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to fight for America, and too many of their acts of courage and honor are unknown. The examples of their persistence and discipline will be inspiring to anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

She was one of the first women to fly a combat mission over Iraq since 2011, and she was the first woman to drop bombs on ISIS. Jet Girl tells the remarkable story of the women fighting at the forefront in a military system that allows them to reach the highest peaks and yet is in many respects still a fraternity.

Historia
August 1990: Iraqi forces under the command of Saddam Hussein invaded the tiny emirate of Kuwait. In response, the US military led a coalition of thirty-four nations in what became known as Operation Desert Storm—a violent air and ground campaign to eject the Iraqis from Kuwait. At the tip of the spear were the men of the US Air Force’s 58th Fighter Squadron. Based on hours of interviews and archival research by author Mike Guardia, this book reveals an intimate, no-holds-barred account of modern aerial combat…as told by the men who lived it.

Not Just for Leaders
Flying in the Face of Fear is a fantastic resource for leaders and managers. It presents valuable leadership and life lessons from a unique perspective: fighter pilot culture. This alone is a compelling enough reason to buy this book for yourself or a leader in your life. But Colonel Campbell’s book is about way more than leadership.
- It’s the inspiring life story of a young girl who has to overcome a variety of obstacles to pursue her dream to serve her country.
- It’s an inside look at the career of an accomplished pilot and Air Force officer.
- It vividly puts the reader “inside the cockpit” during A-10 combat missions, including her famous mission over Baghdad.
So, yes, this is a book for leaders. But it’s also for anyone else who wants to learn essential life skills, needs inspiration, or just wants to read some really cool tales about our nation’s heroes.

KC should have been the reader
I’d like to caveat that.
I am a retired Air Force fighter pilot, and also an Air Force Academy graduate. My time of service predates KC’s and I didn’t stay in long enough to be promoted to the positions that she was.
The reason I say that she should’ve been the reader is that there are some nuances to the fighter pilot jargon, and combat terminology that the reader, who in this case is a professional reader missed. It’s very subtle, but for those of us who are on the inside. It’s also kind of cringey.
Also, I understand that this book is designed to not only tell the story of a fighter pilot, and the trials and tribulations of deployment send the conflicting issues that are part of being a married person, and a deployable warrior. However, this book tends to want to also be a training manual for leadership.
I have no quarrel with that, but I think that inserting the business leadership aspects of this book and wedging it into the experiences of a combat fighter pilot are awkward at best, and in some cases just a poor fit.
OK now the good news is that this author’s experience is something that few if any could write. The fact that she had a serious emergency early in her career, handled it superbly and lived to tell it is well worth the time and effort to put down. I also think that the story of being a married fighter pilot with children and married to another fighter pilot is a compelling story in itself and I am very grateful for having been able to hear that.
This is a review of the audio version of the book which was read by a professional reader. I’ve heard KC speak, and I think she could’ve done exceptional job doing it herself. I also understand the reason for this choice.

Inspiring story and great leadership lessons for life
I am a very biased reviewer because I know the author personally and have flown combat missions with her in the A-10.
This book is interesting, enjoyable to read/listen to and includes some great leadership lessons based on the author’s exceptional Air Force career. As an aviator it was fun to have her correlate flying truths to team leadership situations.
I really wish KC would have read for the audio version. While the professional reader had a good voice she doesn’t pronounce nuanced military terms/jargon correctly and I found that frustrating.
Overall this book is as inspiring as KC is in real life and I’m so grateful to be able to read it and share it with others.
ATTACK! The A-10 experience was amazing.

Inspiring and informative
Very inspiring. KC is a leader to look up to. Learning about how she got to where she is was very interesting also.
Docked a star because she is a little dry/stiff/formal. I found myself wanting her to show a little bit more of her personal opinions on the matter rather than just professional. The whole thing is very “polished” for better or for worse. I prefer memoirs that are a bit more personal, but that’s just my opinion. Other than that it’s very good.

Great story
I loved this story. I grew up the next island over from Curaçao, so I had some connection there. Anyone who has any knowledge of the A10 knows it a a gun with wings, and her stories prove it.

This is a powerful story about service to others.
This book moved me. KC creates a terrific story as she recounts the journey of becoming a pilot in an A-10, a combat pilot and a leader.
This is a story about a fighter pilot who let’s us follow along with how she feels and how she evolves. How does she face challenges? KC shows us the feelings that she has about family, about her teammates and about her work. This is a story about how she chooses to face danger.
This is an easy read, a fast read, however there’s more in this book than one might expect. We will see KC using the A-10 to protect our ground troops in many battles. Their safety is paramount to her. This book is about what drives KC and how she keeps others safe. She knows and feels to her core that the safety of others is paramount. She puts them first; I believe that she is willing to put their safety before her own.
KC explains to us how she faces these risks and how she manages fear. This story in many ways is about all of us, because we all face the unknown. Read about KC and learn about leadership and how facing fear is the only choice.

Great book
I bought this as an aviation enthusiast, but this book is also a management mentorship book. This was very interesting to me personally as a book written by an American hero about her experiences and challenges serving in the USAF, fulfilling a (very difficult) goal to attend the USAF academy, becoming a fighter pilot and details about her career and family life. Thank you for telling your story.

Inspirational story, great blend of war stories with real world management stories
What a great blend of real world storytelling along with her personal reflections on modern management techniques. Nice blend of both, I am a big fan of the A10 and had friends that flew them.
I came through the AFROTC program and had a different experience in the mid 1970’s but the A10 was new as well as the F15 and F16’s.
I am hopeful her efforts for career development help weed out some of the students who cheated on math examinations.
Let’s hope we return to the highest honors of our service oriented students.
Thank you KC for your work. Hopefully we return to the highest standards. God knows we need these young men and women more now then ever.
