About this listen

For a moment Wilson froze and looked at the white-helmeted pilot who sat high on the nose of the colossal fighter. Across the small void, he saw the pilot's eyes peer over his mask. Dark, chilling eyes. Wilson kicked right rudder to slide closer and jam any chance for a bandit gunshot. When the bandit pulled all the way over, almost on its back but in control, he cursed in frustration at what he knew was coming next. The hostile fighter reversed over the top in a negative-g maneuver, his nose tracking down on Wilson like a falling sledgehammer in slow motion. Horrified, Wilson realized he faced an imminent snapshot. With the little air speed he had, he inverted his Hornet to avoid the attack. His aircraft still rolling, Wilson saw that the monster had another weapon at its disposal.

Critic Reviews

"A page turner... Raven One makes a major contribution to aircraft carrier history during difficult deployments. The author has skillfully woven the intense combat maneuvers with a fascinating human interest story." (Naval Historical Foundation)

Outstanding audiobook; it’s a great story supported by excellent narration. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to every minute of it.

Outstanding Audio Book.

The plot, perfectly matched by an excellent narration, was at times particularly gripping. The level of detail was brilliant, the gut wrenching tension of the dogfight scenes and sheer knowledgeable descriptions were riveting.
Highly recommended.

Good narration and easy to listen too

Good Air Combat Story

The Squadron dynamic was carefully opened and showed the mix of competitive teamwork and rivalry. Much of the time was spent in the cockpit and the adrenaline rush of carrier deck operations and strike missions was vividly brought to life.
As a military pilot, I enjoyed the technical immersion played out with descriptive language and the clipped R/T transmissions. This must have been baffling to those on the first rung of aviation knowledge and might well detract for the lay person.
The plot was relatively strong with a clear sense of good guy and heinous villain. Both with the opposition Iranian fighter ace and the odious XO, there was a rather amusing sense of malevolence. It made them almost impossibly cartoonish as evil characters.
Overall, a ripping yarn and much enjoyed.

You’re almost there in the cockpit!
