This book is a tribute to all the men and women who have served, currently serve and will serve in Naval Aviation. Remember that freedom doesn''''t come free and much effort is needed to maintain this value, as it is the highest achievement in human life. Joseph "Hoser" Satrapa is one of those Naval Aviators who dedicated a large share of his life to serve his country. He continues to serve his community today in the California Department of Forestry.
Before the Tailhook scandal and the advent of "political correctness" there were US Navy fighter pilots that defied decorum, that pushed and redefined the flying envelope with their aggressive use of their machines, and that lived on the edge of peril with a no-holds barred, warrior mind-set. This is a book filled with the tales of such a man, his larger-than-life exploits, and the accomplishments that set him apart from the rest of the pack.
