Once a Fighter pilot by Anthony R. Poccia
Awesome book. All I ever wanted to do was fly an F-4 and this book brought me as close as I’ll ever get. Written in a down-to-earth manner that was easily understandable; thanks Jerry Cook!

The very best fighter pilot’s story by Alexander A. Vivona Jr.
This book is a must read for all military pilots and those seeking such status. Gen Cook tells it like it was and reminds me of a bunch of pilots sitting around the table discussing their careers. Most of us have always believed his basic tenet that could not believe that we were being paid to fly for the service. He also reminded me that your primary instructor had the biggest impact on your approach to training other pilots. Thank you !

One of the Great Aviation Books by C. Wyndham
Jerry Cook’s “Once A Fighter Pilot” is one of the books that occupies a small section of my shelf reserved for truly extraordinary books written by pilots. Many fighter jocks are good at BFM, formation, gunnery, instrument flying, and other skills, but the ones who can evoke strong emotion through the written word are scarce. My military flying career is past, but this book takes me right back into the cockpit, in a way few books do.

This book is the real deal, folks.

Best buy yet. by Clay Moore
I first saw this book in a local bookstore and saw the cover. I didnt really now what it was about, but when I read it it was the best book yet. It is on my Absolute Favorite list.Since I bought the book I have read it over 5 times, and find something new each time. It has also made me want to be a fighter pilot in our Air Force. A must read for anyone.
