A memoir of a Navy pilot during the war in Vietnam.This story is written from the author’s memory and from personal documents, lecture notes, handouts, and manuals that he retained from his active duty days. “An acquaintance of mine commented that perhaps if you demonstrated that you could land on the boat once, you pretty much had that skill locked in, and subsequent landings would be a repeat of the first one. “It doesn’t quite work that way. The plane doesn’t magically arrive at a certain spot in the sky. The pilot has to fly it there every time. No two landings are identical and you have to fly each approach individually.”
