Title: Flight of the Intruder
Grazing the Vietnam treetops at night at just under the speed of sound, A-6 Intruder pilot Jake "Cool Hand" Grafton knows exactly how precarious life is. Landing on a heaving aircraft carrier, dodging missiles locked on his fighter, flying through clouds of flak - he knows each flight could be his last. Yet he straps himself into a cockpit every day.
Then a bullet kills his bombadier while they're hitting another "suspected" truck depot. Jake wonders what his friend died for - and why? Hitting pointless targets selected by men piloting desks just doesn't make sense. Maybe its time to do something worthwhile. Something that will make a difference...
Jake and his new bombadier, ice-cold Tiger Cole, are going to pick their own target and hit the enemy where it hurts. But to get there and back in one piece is going to take a lot of nerve, even more skill, and an incredible amount of raw courage. Before it's over, they're going to fly into hell.
