Sommario/riassunto: Hard Air a book about extraordinary flying-flying under conditions that keep fighters on the carrier deck and rockets on the launch pad-a book about rescue missions and long, lonely flights to gather urgently needed information, about flights to places where no one should be flying: into hurricanes, firestorms, and deep, engine-killing cold. As a pilot himself, W. Scott Olsen brings to these tales a sense of wonder and adventure as well as a genuine, firsthand understanding of the dangers and rigors of such flying.
