The level of detail and accuracy in his narrative is outstanding. I recommend this book to aviation history aficionados. You won’t be disappointed.” –Pablo Bauleo IPMS/USA

“An exciting and interesting book..F9F Panther units helped prevent the collapse of the United Nations defense of South Korea. Their story deserves to be told. This book does an excellent job of that and I heartily recommend it to historians, modelers, enthusiasts and artists of the F9F, the Korean War, and Navy and Marine air operations of the conflict.” –Frederick Boucher, KitMaker Network
