Suicide Jockeys: The Making of the WWII Combat Glider Pilot

Suicide Jockeys traces the United States WWII Glider Pilot Program from its creation through the end of the war: how glider pilot training was built, how and why it changed, and who the men were who went through it. It is the only book of its kind, built on primary-source military documents, and it corrects the myths that have grown up and persisted around the American glider pilots.
