In this short, fast paced book about the Korean War, Harry Brubaker reluctantly leaves his family to fight in Korea. The book generally follows his activities as a fighter pilot, and the tough life he leads. His division of jets, stationed on an aircraft carrier, is ordered to destroy the bridges at Toko-Ri, to cut off enemy supply lines and to isolate them.

Opinion: 

The book was descriptive despite it's short size, but at times the descriptions got confusing, sometimes because of military terminology. I also thought that the end was quite sad, but it showed the dangerous situation that American soldiers of the time lived through.
