Tomcats!

This was a great book. I'm not sure if it's because of my love for the F-14, or because I love aviation in general, but I could vividly picture the scenes described in this book. Exhilarating stuff!

Ward "Mooch" Carrol was a Tomcat RIO and runs a great and informative YouTube channel.

on to the next one!

Very entertaining

I thoroughly enjoyed the slice-of-life perspective in this story. I usually don’t listen to these kinds of stories but this one convinced me to give the other 2 stories done by Ward Carroll a chance. Fun read overall.

Thumbs up

Excellent tale with some occasional humor mixed in to go with the story line. Highly recommend.

Wanting more

Before I knew it the book was over and left you wanting more! Very enjoyable and a joy to listen to. Looking forward to the next book!

Great read for Naval Aviation fans.

As a former teenager of the 80’s this book hits home with all of Naval AirPower “inside baseball” of my youth. A good story and likable characters round it out. I finished it in 3 days. Highly recommend!
