During decades of Cold War tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, American and Soviet air crews regularly interacted with one another in an unsung, unusual, and - until now - unknown program called Constant Shotgun. In this groundbreaking memoir, retired Air Force Colonel Glenn R. Whicker recalls sitting side-by-side with the Soviets through unbelievable and life-threatening stunts, tender heart-to-hearts, and behind-the-scenes moments from some of the most important turning points of the Cold War.

Come, fly along with him in Soviet transports, including the world's largest aircraft, the Antonov 225. Travel through Siberia, Cuba, Newfoundland and Alaska as he and other escort pilots ensure safety in America's skies.

Ten Fighter Boys
<p>The extraordinary stories of ten fighter pilots, told in their very own words during the Second World War.</p> <p>First published by Collins in 1942, this utterly compelling collection of first-hand accounts of ten fighter pilots' experiences at the helm of the Spitfires of 66 Squadron paints one of the most realistic depictions of the battle for the skies over wartime Europe.</p> <p>Offering incredible personal insights into the wartime experience - both in the air and on the ground - the stories are told with unaffected zest, by men who were living in the constant presence of death.</p> <p>Five of the original contributors were killed before the book was originally printed, including the books editors, Wing Commander Athol Forbes and Squadron Leader Hubert Allen. Jimmy Corbin, the last surviving contributor and author of the foreword, passed away in December 2012.</p> <p>Written right in the middle of the war, in the pilots' own words, Ten Fighter Pilots is a truly original and unique account of a terrifying time.</p>
