Product Description

Review

"From the Foreword by Vice President Richard Cheney (then former Secretary of Defense): "Vipers in the Storm" accurately reflects the decisive role that the United States Air Force played in defeating Saddam Hussein's military and liberating Kuwait. It is a superb account of modern air warfare. Most of all, it is a reminder of how enormously fortunate we are that there are young Americans like Keith Rosenkranz able and willing to defend the nation.


Product Description

During Operation Desert Storm, Captain Keith Rosenkranz piloted his F-16 "Viper" in 30 combat missions. Here he recounts these experiences in searing, "you-are-there" detail, giving readers one of the most riveting depictions ever written of man and machine at war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest and comprehensive, 15 April 2005
By G. WILLIAMS "gipsymagpie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is really quite good. I came across it by accident but I was totally gripped. The book has some excellent bits, especially the fact that the picture on the front is obviously of the author a long time after he left the air force...the G suit doesn't quite fit. His description of how jet fighter pilots deal with the call of nature mid atlantic is superb. Now 15 years old but still great.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for military aviation enthusiasts., 9 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Vipers in the Storm: Diary of a Gulf War Fighter Pilot (Aviation Week Book) (Hardcover)
This is a very enjoyable book, and one that all military enthusiasts will enjoy alot. The book goes into great detail about the authors experiences during the desert storm campaign. During the chapters when the author is describing in great detail about the combat sorties he flew, when he has missiles and triple-a flying all over the place trying to shoot him down, I could'nt put the book down, you felt like you were sitting right next to him at 20,000 feet dropping bombs. All in all a very satisfying read, congratulations to the author on a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty, Honest, Inspiring, 14 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Vipers in the Storm: Diary of a Gulf War Fighter Pilot (Aviation Week Book) (Hardcover)
In this book, Keith takes you on a jouney, both in his cockpit and in daily life on a remote base. The ups and downs of being stationed in a remote air force base in the UAE are chronicled in personal detail. The kind of detail you could not even get if you were there. The emotional ups and down, the internal conflict of war, as well as the pride of Freedom and the moral certainly of doing the right thing. The contradictory nature of emotions is not glossed over. This is not AIr Force propaganda, but on the other hand, this is not a Vendetta against the Air Force. This is a real life look behind the eyes of one of the proud american fighter pilots. Keith Rosenkranz has the right stuff.
