I never thought to try google. I tried abebooks with "Eagle" and
"Eagles" and got too many hits to bear, although I did notice Anton
Meyer's "Once an Eagle" and reread it (I recommend it highly, even
though it's about the Army and not aviation).

One of the real modern classics of the military genre. Spent eons on
the Army Chief of Staff's recommended professional reading list, and
is probably still on it. There was a rather decent (and compared to
most similar efforts rather true to the book) miniseries adaptation of
it on TV back in the late seventies; Sam Elliot played the role of
"Sam Damon".

Thank you very much.
