Default trying to find aviation book


"Nobody" wrote in message
...
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?

Thanks in advance.


Boots wrote NGNG on 8 1/2 x 11 typewriter paper while he was an 86 driver in
Korea. I have an early copy of this work. Its not a book, but rather a short
course in basic ACM and tactics for the 86 against the Mig 15 written on the
base ops typewriter.
The piece is very short. My copy is 41 pages counting illustrations.
I'd be surprised if you could find the piece in book form, but nothing's
impossible.
Boots was living in Florida last I heard; Melborne if I remember right. It
was some time ago.
Perhaps a call to information there will uncover something concrete you can
pursue.
