Reviews

[Jan · Rating 2 out of 5]

A detailed personal account of the Gulf War I experiences of an Electronic Warfare technician flying on a US jammer aircraft during the conflict.

Honest and occasionally interesting, but perhaps lacking a convincing reason for why it should read by more than friends and family?

[Charles · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nothing particularly special, just another war memoir.

[Chris Riley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as technical as I would have liked, but for anyone interested in what its like in a Compass Call, its worth a read.
