Lead your most important team (your kids) with integrity, honor, and love. There are no bad teams (i.e., kids). There are only less-than-perfect leaders (i.e., parents). So says former fighter pilot and parent of four, retired US Navy Captain “Brick” Conners. Conners believes good leadership drives every successful outcome, and good parenting is no different. As a Navy Strike Fighter Pilot, Brick amassed over 4500 hours and over 1000 carrier landings during multiple combat deployments. So he understands all too well the critical importance of leadership in enabling those under his command to take off and return safely. Every parent wants the same: to have our children take off into the world and its adventures, but to return home safely at the end of the day. Conners links thrilling life-and-death experiences in leadership, adversity, and performance to practices and takeaways that will guide parents, grandparents, coaches, military personnel, and anyone else who wants to raise, develop, and lead children and young people. Through tools gleaned from his own experience as a pilot, parent, and coach, Conners shows how we can redefine our own leadership skills and develop the same in children, so that they are equipped to deal with the unavoidable hazards of growing up. As parents, if we’re not happy with how we’ve handled parenting challenges in the past, we will find ways to reevaluate and alter our course; if we have acted on values and beliefs that were not always ideal, we will learn how to take a different approach: one that can lead our children to extraordinary trajectories, increased success, and lifelong happiness.

The tales of our fathers (and mothers, sometimes) in war may be the most important legacy ever left us. These "war stories" told by our parents on warm summer evenings haunt many of us to this day. They are warnings, a cry in the dark to future generations they may never know. The following pages are the autobiographical accounts of my parents in World War II. My father was a fighter pilot and my mother an evac nurse in the ETO 1944-45. These are the very human accounts of that most inhuman experience.

This is the story of James Leininger, who-- a little more than two weeks after his second birthday-- began having blood-curdling nightmares that just would not stop. When James began screaming out recurring phrases like, "Plane on fire! Little man can't get out!" the Leiningers finally admitted that they truly had to take notice. When details of planes and war tragedies no two-year-old boy could know continued-- even in stark daylight-- Bruce and Andrea Leininger began to realize that this was an incredible situation. Soul Survivor is the story of how the Leiningers pieced together what their son was communicating and eventually discovered that he was reliving the past life of World War II fighter pilot James Huston. As Bruce Leininger struggled to understand what was happening to his son, he also uncovered details of James Huston's life-- and death-- as a pilot that will fascinate military buffs everywhere. In Soul Survivor, we are taken for a gripping ride as the Leiningers' belief system is shaken to the core, and both of these families come to know a little boy who, against all odds and even in the face of true skeptics, harbors the soul of this man who died long ago.

Please note: This ebook edition does not include the photo insert from the print edition. The widely anticipated memoir of legendary ace American fighter pilot, Robin Olds Robin Olds was a larger-than-life hero with a towering personality. A graduate of West Point and an inductee in the National College Football Hall of Fame for his All-American performance for Army, Olds was one of the toughest college football players at the time. In WWII, Olds quickly became a top fighter pilot and squadron commander by the age of 22—and an ace with 12 aerial victories. But it was in Vietnam where the man became a legend. He arrived in 1966 to find a dejected group of pilots and motivated them by placing himself on the flight schedule under officers junior to himself, then challenging them to train him properly because he would soon be leading them. Proving he wasn't a WWII retread, he led the wing with aggressiveness, scoring another four confirmed kills, becoming a rare triple ace. Olds (who retired a brigadier general and died in 2007) was a unique individual whose personal story is one of the most eagerly anticipated military books of the year.

Fighter Pilot's Daughter: Growing Up in the Sixties and the Cold War details author and Professor Mary Lawlor’s unconventional upbringing in Cold War America. Memories of her early life—as the daughter of a Marine Corps and then Army father—reveal the personal costs of tensions that once gripped the entire world, and illustrate the ways in which bold foreign policy decisions shaped an entire generation of Americans, defining not just the ways they were raised, but who they would ultimately become. As a kid on the move she was constantly in search of something to hold on to, a longing that led her toward rebellion, to college in Paris, and to the kind of self-discovery only possible in the late 1960s. A personal narrative braided with scholarly, retrospective reflections as to what that narrative means, My Cold War zooms in on a little girl with a childhood full of instability, frustration and unanswered questions such that her struggles in growth, her struggles, her yearnings and eventual successes exemplify those of her entire generation. From California to Georgia to Germany, Lawlor’s family was stationed in parts of the world that few are able to experience at so young an age, but being a child of military parents has never been easy. She neatly outlines the unique challenges an upbringing without roots presents someone struggling to come to terms with a world at war, and a home in constant turnover and turmoil. This book is for anyone seeking a finer awareness of the tolls that war takes not just on a nation, but on that nation’s sons and daughters, in whose hearts and minds deeper battles continue to rage long after the soldiers have come home.

Young Jimmy Madison's only hero was his fighter pilot father who bailed out uninjured after being shot down in the last phase of WWII only to be killed later by a Japanese guard while attempting to aid another American POW. On his twelfth birthday, Jimmy learned of his father's death and after cussing at God, vowed, "I'll kill the Jap who killed you, Dad, if it takes the rest of my life." Without being absolutely aware of it, that vow became the underlying motivation of Jim "Mad Dog" Madison's every conscious thought and action. On the climb toward maturity, Jimmy became what his mother called "steely," his grandmother called "spunky" and an Air Force wingman of his years later would call "the absolute toughest sonofabitching fighter pilot I ever hope to meet in one lifetime, so help me." Philemon B Waters XVIII was first published in the The Saturday Evening Post in college and since has had a novel, fifteen short stories and numerous verses published. He also wrote copy and edited full page ads, some award winners, for national and international publications, as well as humor for TV comic with his own show on ABC, then NBC.

"The Education of a Fighter Pilot" is a personal biography written by Austin L. "Toss" Olsen that covers nearly four years of his life, ages 17 to 20, during which he trained to be a fighter pilot in World War II - and shot down five Japanese airplanes. Olsen was on a team of five fliers - replacement pilots sent out to the Pacific. The five saw combat; two perished, one was shot down and became a prisoner of war, and Toss and a fellow pilot completed their service as the war ended. To write the book, he relied on 144 letters, postcards and telegrams that he had sent to his parents while he trained for some two years in six states and then finally served aboard the aircraft carrier Belleau Wood in 1945. This book tells the details of his training, of his flights in combat, and of his friendships, some of which were shattered when his comrades died during the war. The day he shot down four planes, he had been fired on earlier - by a fellow pilot. The bullet holes that were evidence of the friendly fire were just inches from his cockpit. His first inclination was to use the correspondence to write a work of fiction; he was already the author of two novels: "Corcho Bliss," published in 1972 by Simon & Schuster, and "Apache Ambush," published in 2000 by Kensington. But Olsen chose to use the letters and add his recollections to tell the real story of what he went through to become a pilot for the Navy, and how he was able to pay for his "education" by shooting down five airplanes, including a kamikaze that was headed low on the water against a U.S. destroyer with a complement of more than 200 sailors on board. As he explained, the letters did not contain everything that happened: "Regulations prohibited revealing the details of where I was, or what I had done - and I myself was not always candid."
