In BingamanÕs stellar memoir, his boyish obsession with flight blossoms into a grueling but rewarding career in the U.S. military, leading him into the uncertainties of war.

Bingaman returns to his Iowa roots in this collection of anecdotes, reminiscences and close calls among fighter pilots and their peers. Recounting first his time in England as an American airman in a NATO squadron, the narrative covers his time in Oregon, the Midwest and Vietnam, detailing the operationsÑparticularly the idiosyncrasies and frustrationsÑof military programs and the officers that oversaw them.

Well-paced and written in economical prose, BingamanÕs retelling of his past is at once richly personal and broadly historical, sacrificing neither breadth nor depth to convey specific bits of information as well as the zeitgeist of the time.

A sensitive, astute contribution to the history of the armed forces.

Toy does not live up to its name
Color: 1PC
This product is not sturdy enough for an aggressive chewer as it is advertised. It took my 7-year-old "Rottie" approximately 15-20 minutes to have this "unbreakable, in destructive aggressive chewer" toy rip open and stuffing everywhere. A complete waste of money and I would not recommend this toy to anyone with an aggressive chewer.

Total Rip Off Zero Star Rating Warranted
Color: 1PC
I purchased this product for my dog because it was advertised as indestructible. The second my dog opened the package and put the bear in his mouth the “indestructible bear” was torn apart just below the bear’s head. It was useless and the stuffing was exposed. We had to take the bear from our dog and throw it away. The product was literally destroyed, rendered useless, and unusable in seconds. We had to take the product from our dog fearing he would infest the stuffing which I’m sure would have been harmful to our dog. I have never seen a dog toy that was so easily torn apart and this has never happened to any of the many toys we have purchased and/or given to our dog for play toys. I would rate this product zero stars if possible. Unfortunately one star is the lowest rating you can give when submitting your review. I’m embarrassed I spent money on what truly is junk. We and anyone else should demand a refund for purchasing this product. Sincerely One Disappointed and Disgusted Amazon Prime Member

not indestructible
Color: 1PC
My dog ate through it in 4 days. The bear is not indestructible. It died a very undignified death. I am convinced that my dog was a goat in a past life. He eats everything that is not nailed down.
