    “Quite simply a wonderful book” (Booklist): During the Korean War, aviator John Glenn and legendary baseball hitter Ted Williams entered Communist airspace aboard matching Panther jets — and forged an unbreakable bond. This 2023 release is “a touching and highly readable” account (Publishers Weekly) of their friendship.

    Very cool. Thanks. I'll get a copy. I knew he was a fighter pilot but never new any more than that.

    Thanks for the recommendation....just added it to my Audible list. Recently have been listening to WW II memoirs, bio, etc. Marines and Air Force. Just Finished "A Wing and a Prayer"...8th Air Force navigator story....interesting perspective, stories are usually pilots.

    My Mom used to keep propeller/engine logbooks at Pensacola NAS. She and a girlfriend had lunch with Ted once. Mom was dating Dad (also a pilot) so it was a "wingwoman"arrangement.
