Cook also whisks you along on heart-stopping combat missions.Fly with him in Air Force F-4 Phantoms over enemy territory dodging shrapnel, missiles, and other aircraft. Along the way, you'll get an eye-opening look at one of the most tumultuous eras in U.S. history - as seen through the eyes of men who risked their lives for a cause that threatened to tear a nation apart. |
