About Hornets Over Kuwait

Product Description Already a classic, this book is the brash, unbridled and politically incorrect account of a Marine fighter pilot's actions during Operation DESERT STORM. Impetuosity aside, Stout's account reads real and has stood up to challenges from within and outside the Marine Corps.  In this, his first book, Stout provides plenty of action and accurately describes tactics and combat actions that were typical for the short, sharp war that drove Saddam from Kuwait. At the same time he paints a self-effacing picture of his own performance, a factor that makes this work that much more credible and readable. A "must read" for anyone interested in air combat. Review Review "Written in the brusque langauage of youth, this wartime memoir is the first in-depth look at the F/A-18 Hornet at war...it should be read by everyone with an interest in Naval Aviation in the Gulf war." --Naval Aviation News " Jay Stout's book should be indispensable to all students of military aviation.  As an informal self-portrait of a fighter pilot at war, it is vivid, truthful and often very funny.  I can recommend it without reservation." --Combatsim Review " "The book examines the high-tech nature of modern fighter aircraft, but it's also infused with the cockiness and ribald humor of a young pilot." --The Indianapolis Star "A no-holds-barred viewpoint of some "sacred" topics, like women in the military, leadership and military tactics intertwined with tales of homesickness...and discussions of aviation maneuvers over Iraq." --The Corridor News
