Product Description:
Ward Carroll's electrifying debut, Punk's War, blew away readers, critics, and Navy veterans. Now, in his second novel, Carroll brings back Navy Lieutenant Rick "Punk" Reichert-with a training squadron of new pilots-on a collision course with danger and destiny.

This is probably the most powerful tome to come out of nav-air since "Flight of the Intruder" during the mid 1980's. "Wing" is actually the 2nd of three books - all worthy reads - but surpasses them all. "War" introduced Rick "Punk" Reichert, the pilot-half of a two-man crew dedicated to flying the F-14 fighter. Though it's an adventurous job, "War" set itself above other techno thrillers or mil-av novels by painfully depicting just how hard a job it really was to fly high-performance fighter ... Read More

I've read all of Ward Carroll's books and find them remarkably accurate and the characters interesting and believable. While all of his characters are fictional, I find attributes of real people and characters I have served with in all of them.

Ward Carroll has written another spellbinder! All three of his "Punk's series are "must reads" for any serious student of carrier operations and naval aviation. Mr. Carroll's descriptions are very good and his plots make it difficult to put down one of his (now four) "Punk's" books.

Ward Carroll nailed it again! Great story of the true world of the military aviator--struggling to balance the flying he loves with the other 'distractions' he faces. Well narrated with a 'there I was' feel, Mr. Carroll puts you in the cockpit as he deals with both the trivial and the deadly. Well done!

In this sequel to "Punk's War," author Ward Carroll takes the reader into the world of the modern naval aviator. The pilots it describes come form the generation that grew up watching Tom Cruise "feeling the need for speed," only to discover that U.S. Navy pilots fight some of their most difficult battles when they're NOT in the cockpit. Carroll's three novels (Punk's War, Punk's Wing, and Punk's Fight) are must-reads for anyone who wants to know what the military pilot's world is truly like.
