Angles
of Attack: An A-6 Intruder Pilot's War [ABRIDGED]
by Peter Hunt
Check for Low Price
Book Description
From the carrier launch in total darkness to the gut-dropping rolls
through enemy antiaircraft fire, Peter Hunt puts you in the
pilot’s seat for the flight of your life.
Moments after Desert Storm began, bomber pilot Pete Hunt was in the
air over the Persian Gulf. Hunt saw it all, and this is his electrifying
account. Tested to the max, flying all night, every night for weeks on
end, Hunt executed dozens of missions—from carpet bombing to dropping
deadly five-hundred-pound cluster bombs with pinpoint precision; from supporting
Marines on the ground to bombing fleeing Iraqis along the blood-soaked
“highway of death.”
His A-6 jet was a wide-open target for the blazing antiaircraft fire
streaking up to destroy it. Escaping this deadly blizzard of fire made
setting the A-6 back down on a little deck in a big ocean seem almost easy.
But Hunt, like the rest of his squadron, the VA-145 Swordsmen—honored as
the premier Attack Squadron in the United States Navy for 1991—was just
doing his job: keeping America free.
About the Author
Peter Hunt was born in Northport, New York, in 1962 and joined the
United States Navy in 1985. After pilot training he was transferred
to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, to fly A-6 attack jets.
During his active duty, he flew 2,180 hours, 45 combat missions in Operation
Desert Storm, and made 450 carrier-arrested landings. He completed three
deployments of six months each to the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean,
and Persian Gulf: two on the U.S.S. Ranger, and one on the U.S.S. Kitty
Hawk. He left active duty in 1995 and currently lives in Washington
State with his wife and two children. Hunt now works as a pilot with one
of the world’s largest airlines.

Flight
of the Intruder
Stephen Coonts, Paul McCarthy (Editor) / Mass Market Paperback
/ Published 1991
Book Description
Stephen Coonts flew A-6's in Vietnam. He has the credentials to
write this story, which helps explain its long stay on the best seller
list.
A-6's were called Intruders. Their pilots tackled assignments of
dazzling complexity and flew them with daring and dispatch. But they
paid a price...in lost lives, disillusion, incredible tension.
They had one reward -- exhilaration -- worth the whole candle. You
share the airmen's special brand of comradely, the one stabilizing
force in an otherwise precarious life, that only an insider knows.
