FIGHTER PILOT by Robin Olds et al. (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio. This standalone audiobook app combines a professional audio recording with supplemental features for download-once, grab-and-go anywhere enjoyment.
One of the most eagerly anticipated military books of the year, this is the personal memoir of the legendary American triple ace fighter pilot and general in the U.S. Air Force, Robin Olds.
A larger-than-life hero with a towering personality, Robin Olds was a graduate of West Point and an inductee in the National College Football Hall of Fame. In World War II, Olds quickly became a top fighter pilot and squadron commander by the age of twenty-two and an ace with twelve aerial victories, but it was in Vietnam where the man became a legend. With his marriage to Hollywood actress and pin-up girl, Ella Raines, his non-regulation mustache and penchant for drink, Olds was a unique individual whose story is one of the most eagerly anticipated military books of the year.
This was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Robertson Dean.
