Pete Benedetto, the South Philly Renaissance man, and Dave Edwards, the mountain man from the Montana Bitterroots, meet as Cadets at the USAF Academy and challenge its Spartan environment. The fears and tears, the upperclassmen, the system, the weird levity...these two new friends encounter all the things that make an academy experience unique. Upon Graduation, they attend Flight School and become combat fighter pilots in an aircraft with a robotic wingman. In the war emerging on the Korean peninsula, they must face the drudgery and stress of combat and POW conditions. Their trip leads them [and the reader] through many learning experiences, such as disarming a hand grenade, the Tap Code, memory tricks, helicopter aerodynamics, and Artificial Intelligence…eventually leading them back to Colorado as they return to Stanley Canyon.
