Raven One

Flip Wilson Series, Book 1

De: Capt. Kevin P. Miller USN (Ret.)

Narrado por: Corey M. Snow

For a moment Wilson froze and looked at the white-helmeted pilot who sat high on the nose of the colossal fighter. Across the small void, he saw the pilot's eyes peer over his mask. Dark, chilling eyes. Wilson kicked right rudder to slide closer and jam any chance for a bandit gunshot. When the bandit pulled all the way over, almost on its back but in control, he cursed in frustration at what he knew was coming next. The hostile fighter reversed over the top in a negative-g maneuver, his nose tracking down on Wilson like a falling sledgehammer in slow motion. Horrified, Wilson realized he faced an imminent snapshot. With the little air speed he had, he inverted his Hornet to avoid the attack. His aircraft still rolling, Wilson saw that the monster had another weapon at its disposal.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A page turner... Raven One makes a major contribution to aircraft carrier history during difficult deployments. The author has skillfully woven the intense combat maneuvers with a fascinating human interest story." (Naval Historical Foundation)

Great Insights Into Naval Aviation

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Unfortunately, there were times I had to rewind and relisten to certain parts because I got lost in the midst of overwhelming naval jargon. As an former army guy, who spent time working with the navy, it brought back some memories - both good and bad. The story is engaging as he weaves just the right amount of action to keep my interest and now I find I want to know more about Lt Cdr Wilson - so I guess I'm buying the next book in the series.

great story and great first hand knowledge

Kevin's knowledge of naval aviation is shared in a way that both combat veterans can relate to and the common non military person can enjoy. nice work!

You Are There

Held my interest from the first few pages to the last word. The descriptions of the human interplay between sailors and the war fighting events was extraordinary. Gave the listener the fly on the wall seat to every event. Recommend highly to anyone.

Great Story!

Told from an aviators perspective. Great details & engaging story! Dogfights were edge of your seat scenes!

Overall excellent

Amazingly accurate book. Five stars. Can’t wait for the next book. We thoroughly enjoyed it

VERY good performance and exciting.

Your imagination will draw you in and narration was first rate. Really engrossing, couldn't stop listening.

Great story by an aviator

I'm not sure if Miller is a former Naval aviator but he sure writes like one. Great story! Loved every minute!

Totally realistic

Having grown up in Pensacola this book is so very good. I can't wait to listen to Book 2

Great story!

Felt fully immersed in carrier life. Narrator broke immersion by spelling out jargon and acronyms.

Couldn't think of a better story then I read the sequel. Awesome series so far.

Great series

Great series and plot moves along nicely. A lot of great real world details that adds to the immersion. I appreciate a book that you learn some interesting things as well.
