This is one of the best books about flying fighters,
life in the military, war and the humans who do it, all with the best of
characters shrouded in history, mixed with realism, sex, joy, tragedy,
sadness, and mystery. I could feel the Gs, taste the martinis and smell
the perfume.
Major General Don Shepperd (USAF, Ret.), Author and CNN Military Analyst
Those who want to know what it means to be in a fighter
cockpit while shooting and being shot at will find the answer in "The
Eagle's Last Flight." And when one finishes the book, pilot or not, they
will find themselves having several moments of quiet reflection, not
unlike finishing a Richard Bach book.
Mark Berent, Author of the Rolling Thunder Series
Explosive! For the serious aviation buff, Ron Standerfer, a veteran
AF pilot is eminently qualified to pen this rare, must-have book.

Author, Secret and Dangerous: Night of the Son Tay POW. Raid
Colonel Standerfer's writing skill puts you in the cockpit with pilot
Skip O'Neill as he maneuvers and engages in aerial combat. The fact that
the author himself flew 237 combat missions in Vietnam provides the
background and real knowledge and skills to take the reader with him
back into the fight.
