THE AERIAL VIEW TRILOGY

Hangar Flying (Book 1) is a memoir of General Merrill McPeak's early service in fighter squadrons, a story about military flying in the tumultuous 1960s. Below the Zone (Book 2) takes McPeak through the 1970s and 80s, during which he served in a series of increasingly important staff and command positions and rose to four-star rank. Roles and Missions (Book 3) covers his four years as the Air Force's 14th chief of staff.
