From The Publisher
| From the heroic Berlin airlift to dogfights over Korea, from the prisons of Hanoi to the Yom Kippur War and beyond, America's bravest men answered the call of glory with grit, guts, and gallantry.
This thrilling, panoramic novel follows the lives of six very different airmen - at work, at war, and at home. Fearless flyers, they faced constant danger in the sky. Top gunners, they courted glamour on the ground. In or out of the cockpit, they had the right stuff to live fast and love hard. THE WILD BLUE is also a loving portrait of military families...of military wives who supported their men, left them, or fought to forge their own identities in a man's world. Duty. Honor. Tragedy. Triumph. Thirty-five years in THE WILD BLUE. |

Famous quotes containing the words from the and/or publisher:
“How did they meet? By chance, like everybody.... Where did they come from? From the nearest place. Where were they going? Do we know where we are going?”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide.... I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
