Wildcats to Tomcats: The Tailhook Navy Cormier, Richard L.; Cormier, Zeke; Schirra, Wally; Wood, Phil and Tillman, Barrett

Through five decades, including World War II. Korea & Vietnam, Zeke Cormier, Wally Schirra and Phil Wood have served naval aviation and their nation whether on active duty or in retirement. Their overlapping careers involved them in U-Boat hunting, aerial combat, the Blue Angels, experimental flight, weapons testing, space flight and command at sea. This book describes their riveting experiences and tremendous contributions. Between the three they have flown over 14,000 hours, including over 500 combat missions, and made over 1800 carrier landings. Written with the help of Barrett Tillman, their adventures are related with candor, a great deal of good humor, and bear a message, born of collective experience, for today's naval leadership. --- from book's dustjacket
