The Making of A Naval Aviator

During the Vietnam War Draft Lottery, one young man made a life-altering decision: rather than wait for his number to be called, he chose to serve his country on his own terms. This memoir follows his journey from college student to United States Naval Aviator, offering an inside look at the demanding and often unforgiving training required to earn the coveted Gold Wings.
From the first disorienting days of flight school to mastering the complex systems of the P-3 Orion Antisubmarine Patrol Aircraft, his story brings readers into the cockpit, through the classrooms, and into the skies above America's tense Cold War patrol zones. More than a story of flying, this is a vivid firsthand account of discipline, determination, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Along the way, he endures the rigors of Naval aviation academics, survival training, multiengine flight instruction, carrier qualification, and the high-stakes world of antisubmarine warfare. His experiences paint a rich portrait of the men who trained, flew, and served during a turbulent era bonded by duty, challenged by danger, and shaped by the responsibility of protecting their nation.
Combining personal reflection with historical insight,The Making of a Naval Aviatoroffers an inspiring and informative look at military aviation during the Vietnam and Cold War periods. It is a tribute to those who chose to fly, serve, and stand watch above the world's oceans in one of the Navy's most vital aircraft.
