Fighter Pilot is a good history book by the author Robin Olds, Christina Olds, Ed Rasimus.
A larger-than-life hero, Robin Olds is a graduate of West Point and an official nominee in the National College Football Hall of Fame for an all-American performance for the Army. During World War II, Olds quickly became a top fighter pilot and squadron commander at the age of 22 — a double with 12 air victories.
But it was in Vietnam that the man became a legend. He motivates a group of bored pilots by placing himself under junior officers and challenging them to train him properly. With his marriage to Hollywood actress and pretty Ella Raines, his unconventional mustache, and a penchant for drinking, Olds is a unique individual with a compelling story.
Christina Olds, daughter of Robin Olds, holds a B.A. in English and creative writing from Vassar, is a member of the Air Force Association, and the first honorary member of the Red River Valley Association.
