If you are the kind of person that loves hearing old military pilots talking about interesting events that occurred during their flying career, then you will really enjoy this book. It is not about air combat, but is about the experiences of a fighter pilot. In this case, F102's and F106's during the Cold War, defending the northern approaches to the US. The title is: Angels Three Six: Confessions of a Cold War Fighter Pilot. Author is Col. Chuck Lehman.

He relates not history making or earth shattering incidents, but rather the stuff you would only get to hear at a bull session down in the hanger, or more likely over a drink at the club - providing the boss isn't around to hear - and they are all very well related. Not a tedious read, but rather quick, and ends far to soon. Names have been changed to protect the not so very innocent, and in some cases, the not so very wise! Absolutely great stuff!

This page will give you a link to contact him to inquire about ordering a copy if interested.

Asking price is $19.95 plus $3.00 s/h. Worth the price I think.
