Can I get your attention! Eagle Driver Rob ‘Z-man’ Zettel has completed a masterpiece!! ‘American MiG Pilot’. Is available for pre-order on Amazon. I was given the opportunity to pre-read the book.
Z-man’s writing style is engaging and fast-paced, pulling the reader right into the cockpit with him. The book offers vivid descriptions of the various sorties flown by the Red Eagles. He dives deep into what it’s like to fly the MiG-21 and MiG-23 in scenarios where a split-second decision can mean life or death. The book is heavy on details, but Z-man explains them in a way that makes sense without losing any of the intensity.
The book’s strength is in its authenticity. Unlike many memoirs that can glorify flying, ‘American MiG Pilot’ doesn’t sugarcoat the hardships of being a fighter pilot and flying the MiGs describes the pressure, and the mental toll of flying and training for combat—especially when things go wrong. His honest portrayal of the events combined with the thrill of flying the MiG’s, makes this an unforgettable read for anyone interested in military aviation and first hand flying stories.
It is a fantastic addition to the must read book Red Eagles: America’s Secret Migs written by Steve Davies. And a different book. Z-man’s book tells the operational story on a sortie level that complements Red Eagles.
The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.com.
