Dead Legend

by D.Z. Church

Mac Cooper, one of the Navy's top aces, was a legend, with medals stretching from WWII to Korea. In 1955, he asked one question that ended in scandal and suicide. Now, it's 1967, as pilots sortie in Vietnam, equipment problems escalate until flying an A-4E attack bomber is as touch-and-go as outmanuevering the enemy. When Mac Cooper's question resurfaces, his estranged sons, one a Marine, one a Navy pilot, set out, in opposition, to resolve the past even if uncovering the truth about Mac's death destroy them.
