This book describes how Cold War aircrew acquired the skills needed to fly and tame a complex fighter jet such as the F-4 "Pantom II". It tracks the progress of training at each stage and explains why it cost millions to train each pilot and navigator. Philip Keeble and David Gledhill, both former Phantom crews, describe the challenges and emotions that arose during the rigorous training process in a frank yet light-hearted way that will leave you wondering how anyone could have achieved the goal.
