trying to find aviation book
In article , Nobody wrote:
Recently I saw a special on The History Channel called "Dogfights". It
mentioned a book by Frederick C. "Boots" Blesse titled "No Guts, No Glory".
I have not been able to find this book for sale anywhere. Does anyone know
where I may find a copy of this book?
It was originally a 30 page manual written in 1955 for U.S. Air Force
fighter pilots regarding tactical maneuvers, and was classified at the
time. They were USAF issued to pilots as recently as 1973, that I am
aware of.
However, I think I once heard somewhere that another of his books,
'Check Six' includes a reprint of the 30 page 'No Guts, No Glory' manual
at the end?
'Check Six' is unclassified and available for purchase.
Amazon sells it through other booksellers for as little as one cent for
the paperback edition of 'Check Six'.
Someone in rec.aviation.military would probably know for sure if 'Check
Six' does indeed have a reprint of 'No Guts, No Glory' in it.
