Synopsis
Beginning as a young boy, Jules takes you through the unique process of becoming a Naval Aviator, engages you into his experiences as a brand new pilot in a combat squadron and, finally becoming a flying warrior. Having survived two combat cruises aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk from 1966-1968, compiling 332 career carrier take offs and landings, being shot at daily by enemy fire while completing 200 combat missions over Vietnam, he clearly shares the views of the aviators who flew along with him on these missions while fighting this unpopular war. Jules was awarded the Nation's Distinguished Flying Cross, 21 Air Medals, and many other accolades. After reading this book the reader will have a new understanding and appreciation about the Warriors who protect not only their comrades in arms, but the defense of the nation as well.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"Jules Harper's story is nothing shy of inspiring. As a professor, I was delighted to see students captivated by the gripping details of the many combat missions he flew and his vivid descriptions of the warplanes. It was as close as they could conceivably come to feeling what it was like to be in the cockpit with him. Mr. Harper is a gifted storyteller and real hero!" Dr. Robert Watson, Professor, Lynn University
