Relation In Favor Of Books Flight of the Intruder (Jake Grafton #1)

Also Available in an Audio Edition from Audible via Amazon In Flight of the Intruder Jake Grafton is an A-6 Intruder pilot during the Vietnam War who flies his bomber on sorties past enemy flak and SAM missiles, and then must maneuver his plane, often at night, onto the relatively small deck of an aircraft carrier. Former Navy flyer Stephen Coonts gives an excellent sense of the complexities of modern air raids and how nerve-wracking it is, even for the best airmen, to technically solve sudden problems over and over, knowing that even a twist of fate like a peasant wildly firing a rifle from a field could wipe out the crew. Grafton alternates between remorse over the fate of his unseen Vietnamese victims on the ground and a gung-ho "let's win this war" sentiment that lashes at both policymakers who select less-than-important targets for the dangerous missions and advocates for peace back in the States.

Judge Of Books Flight of the Intruder (Jake Grafton #1)

Easily one of my favorite novels. I'm a naval aviation fan boy as it is, but this book was written by a man that actually lived what he wrote about, (much like Ian Flemming), and it shows. The material is so well sourced and written that it's easy to follow, and the explanations for the technical aspects of the aircraft, carrier life, and tactics are easy for anyone to follow. As a pilot, I enjoyed being able to recognize a lot of the technical aspects as well, but that was really just for me.

Loved this book. Read it when it came out. I put it on the same level as Hunt for Red October. Great book.d.

The Flight of the Intruder (1986) by Stephen Coonts is a rip-roaring tale of an A-6 Intruder pilot, Jake Grafton, flying in Vietnam. Coonts knows what he was writing about. He was an Intruder pilot in Vietnam. The book has lots of detail and the feel of life on board an aircraft carrier is remarkable. According to others who have been pilots on a carrier it's not that far from what happens. Coonts was interviewed on the Fighter Pilot podcast in 2019. The host of the podcast was also a pilot on a

Very good Viet Nam War era novel of love and combat for A-6A naval aviators. Having served with an A-6A squadron aboard an aircraft carrier during that time, I can attest to the authenticity of the colorful experiences described both in and out of combat. The description of air combat over Viet Nam and shore leave R&R in the Phillipines are straight-on accurate. When I returned home from my tour on an aircraft carrier in 1967 I thought I'd like to write a book about my experiences there some

BLOODY SIXTEEN written by CDR Peter Fey, USN-retired, inspired me to buy and read FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER written by his friend and fellow Navy Pilot, Stephen Coonts. The purchase was something I should have done 33 years ago when Coonts first published it. I don't recall why I did not. Perhaps it was because the movie, Flight of the Intruder, was so bad, I figured the book would be, also. Wrongo. The book is a great study on the emotions and attitudes of the pilots. I didn't realize they were as

This one was a tough one to rate. I feel the idea and plot of the book was fantastic. It is good to see the Intruder get some action in Fiction. I just feel Coonts's writing on this one was lacking the spark to keep me thrilled about the book. At times I found some of the stroyline predictable like a classic World War 2 movie from the 1940's and 50's and lets not forget Spike Lee's writing disaster on Mirical at St Anna's (woof that was bad!!) I get it that it was Coonts's first go at a novel.

It takes a lot of guts to be a fither pilot, and probably even more to do your flying from the deck of a ship: short runways, getting fired into the air by a catapult, and the knowledge that any mistake could land you in the insatiable and unforgiving sea.Jake Grafton has guts--when he has to. But he's also got a highly developed sense of what's right, what he feels, and how his actions may have consequences that he doesn't intend. In short, he's a messy human being, like most of us.This book
