Default New Book..."Boyd"

Just finished this book. Quite a story. Having served in the fighter side of
the USAF for most of the period that the book centers on, I was surprised at
how little I had heard of much of Boyd's career outside of his EM work.

Some of it required reading with a salt shaker though!!

Anyone else read it?

Yes I read it but I'm sure the book isn't that new. Probably read it a year
ago. Published in December 2002.

By Coram? That's about a year old. Another guy whose name I forget
did one while Boyd was still alive. Little too much hero worship for
me, but Coram's was outstanding.
