Great gift for the sailor who has nothing or everything! It has a wealth of usefull information.
Bluewater sailor.......2007-04-13
Great book. Interesting and very funy. When you sail for a while you notice that things like the "black Box" described in the book are true. Very good advises...good companion if you planning bluewater sailing.
For the Novice Boater.......2007-04-12
This reference guide is perfect for the novice boater just learning the ropes. It's organized alphabetically to make finding topics easy.
Good for the novice.......2007-01-12
We enjoyed reading this book, but it wasn't what we had hoped. It is a better learning tool for the novice. The entries to the book are written in a alphabetical format. For example, entries about 'sails' are under S. We hoped it would be more of a non-fiction story form where one sailer's knowledge can help other sailers undergo new adventures. You'll read it once and then leave it on the shelf.
Must have for boaters........2007-01-09
This is a great little reference guide for all boaters. You can get an answer to almost any boating question.

Cleared Hot.......2007-01-10
A riveting "in the cockpit" presentation of the dangers, personal frustrations, and day to day life or death of combat support helicopter pilots and, perhaps lesser known to the public, the unsung role of Forward Air Controllers (FAC) in low and slow lightly armed observation aircraft, themselves receiving ground fire, guiding high flying jets to target enemies only a few hundred feet in front of friendly ground troops.
Col. Stoffey's ability to recreate in print the radio conversations between FAC and ground or air units gives the reader a feel of "you are there".
bravo.......2006-08-26
great account from the helicoptors point of view. Little difficult getting into as in the beginning there were just too many numbers of different squadrons too absorb. Once I got throught this the read was thoroughly enjoyable.
5 STARS.......2005-08-22
One of the better Vietnam War books. Well-written, interesting, enjoyable, and never self-promoting. Comes across as the Real Deal.
EXCELLENT!!!.......2003-02-27
This is one of the best books on Vietnam EVER. Im only in 8th grade but I've been in the helos he flies and sat in an OV-10 and he couldn't be more descriptive about the birds he flies. I would reccomend this book to any war buff, historian, know it all, or just plain reader!
Cleared Hot is a clear winner.......2003-02-20
Cleared Hot!: A Marine Combat Pilot's Vietnam Diary by Col. Bob Stoffey is an accurate account of a Vietnam pilot during his terms of service in the Vietnam Conflict. Stoffey writes an account of his ordinary missions and his not so ordinary experiences. The book is laced with heroic stories of Stoffey flying his OV-10 forward air support plane and "Dog" helicopter against the "Gooners." In the OH-10 he organizes strikes and marks targets as well as gets in the action with his centerline gattling gun and rockets, which he's deadly accurate with. In the "Dog" Stoffey delivers much needed supplies to Marine "Grunts" under heavy fire. He gets in fast while his .50 cal. gunners clear the way, drop their cargo, and get out. The action just isn't in the air. There are accounts of rocket attacks and gunfire on the base, (near every night) as well as raids by Gooners with satchel bombs.
If you're interested in war books, this is one for you. Stoffey's style is technical and precise, using a lot of military abbreviations and terms, which adds to its authenticity. Cleared Hot!: A Marine Combat Pilot's Vietnam Diary is written as you would expect a pilot of the time to speak. He has that edge about him that defines a great pilot and a hero. This book is worth buying. As well as a good read, it gives you a history lesson with a real sense of the danger involved.

Customer Reviews:
Great book and Great story, must read........2005-12-21
This book should be required reading on college campuses thru-out America. My opinion. I was fortunate enough to meet the General also on the "rock" in '83. I was busy working in the pharmacy(Hospital Corpsman) at the flight-line clinic and turn around to see this tall General standing there. He ask me for some aspirins for his bad hip. I guess he'd just finished flying. I have never forgot that meeting. I could see how he could succeed against any odds, he had a presence that could not be denied. Truly an American treasure.
A book you can't put down!.......2005-08-13
Into the Tigers Jaw is a very impressive account of Lt. General Frank Petersen's life in the Marine Corps. J Alfred Phelps does a splendid job here depicting the determination and perserverance of a highly decorated Marine who paved the way for today's generation of Black Marine Officers. Petersen's strong will and devotion to duty enabled him to succeed in a organization at a time when Black American's represented such a minute percentage of the ranks in the Armed Forces. There is never a dull moment in this book, it grips your attention from beginning to end.
I borrowed the book from the library, after reading it I bought it, and today it's part of my private library.
What a roll model he is........2000-09-06
As a black Marine (1961-1965) I found the book to answer a lot of my questions, and to help me understand what was going on in my world at the time. That's because I had a very good relationship with the others members of my team who were all white. The only person I had a problem with was my Lt. and I know he just didn't like black folk. His book said the things that needed to be said, he told the truth about the times and what he had to do to overcome things. I felt that in many ways his story was mine, although I only spent 4 years in the corps. Again thanks for your work. Once a Marine always a Marine.
A Literary And Historic Masterpiece.......2000-01-20
It's one thing to hear about how great someone is; it's something totally different to have met that person and to KNOW how great that person is. Lt. Gen. Petersen was my Wing Commander while I was stationed in Okinawa (Headquarters, G-3) during my '83-'84 tour of "The Rock." Though we chatted briefly on a few occasions after his afternoon workouts (yes, he ran daily with that bad hip), he helped me forge an extremely strong sense of duty and honor, and he has been a very positive influence in my life that carries on even today. What's great about the book is that it grabs you and dives right in, taking you on a spellbinding trip that explores the heart and soul of a true battle-hardened, no-nonsense warrior. It could also serve as a seminal work on the history of race relations in the military over the past 50 years. Readers will be thrilled, fascinated, and even brought to tears as they become one with the words which flow so well that it's almost as if General Petersen has a direct link to your brain. There is high drama on all fronts, whether it's in the cockpit of an F-4 Phantom sustaining 37mm anti-aircraft fire, or in the military courtroom showcasing some of the world's most notorious people. The story of Lt. Gen. Petersen's personal life and his career in the Corps will be very inspirational and highly motivating for anyone who reads it. What else would you expect from a Marine?
Semper Fidelis.
Absolutely Fantastic Book!.......1999-04-14
INTO THE TIGER'S JAW has been an inspiration to my students and to me. In Lt. General Petersen we met a courageous man who was not afraid to stand up for what he felt was just and honorable---a man of integrity who overcame obstacles that would have defeated a lesser man. We felt shame at the injustices that he often endured and pride in his accomplishments. Thank you General Petersen and J. Alfred Phelps for this magnificent book and for introducing us to another American hero and role model.
Book Description
Nearly every World War II fighter squadron that flew in Europe has had its history chronicled. Other than "Pappy" Boyington's famous VMF-214 "Black Sheep", little has been written about Marine Corps squadrons in World War II. The contribution of VMF-223, the "Death Rattlers", over Okinawa in the Spring of 1945 is virtually unknown. In two months there, the squadron became the top-scoring unit of any service with 124 1/2 victories and produced 12 aces, the most for one tour of any Marine squadron. The squadron downed 24 3/4 Japanese aircraft twice in its tour, the most for a single Marine squadron in any single action. The squadron's story is not only one of its pilots, combat, and valor, but also of the enlisted men, "the ground-crunchers," who made it function against the Japanese kamikaze menace. Along with the traditional historical perspective, it is an inside look at the personal side of training and war. It is the story of a group of untried young men who trained long and hard and became "family.", over 420 b/w photographs, 8 1/2" x 11"
Book Description
Lost Black Sheep chronicles the wartime exploits of Marine Corps ace Chris Magee, former member of the famous Black Sheep Squadron, his improbable postwar odyssey, and the surprising developments of his later years.
Magee was the leading ace under the Black Sheep's flamboyant leader, Major Greg “Pappy” Boyington. A free-spirited intellectual with the heart of a warrior and the soul of a poet, Magee grew up on Chicago's rambunctious South Side dreaming of the day when he could fly fighter planes into combat. His dream came true when, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he transferred from the Royal Canadian Air Force to the U.S. Marine Corps and received training as a fighter pilot. He was sent to the South Pacific where his bravery and piloting skills earned him the Navy Cross and the title of “Ace.”
When the war ended, Magee refused to pursue a conventional lifestyle or take advantage of the fame that awaited him back home, choosing instead to seek new adventures. During the next twelve years he walked the razor's edge: black marketeer, bootlegger, volunteer fighter pilot for the fledgling nation of Israel, courier for a covert group of U.S. “businessmen” involved in Latin American politics, and, eventually, bank robber.
Then, one day, Magee found an envelope slipped under his front door with a note inside that ultimately changed his life, causing him to revisit parts of his past he thought were forever forgotten.

The Wildman Found.......2005-08-27
Chris Magee, the enigmatic "Wildman" of Pappy Boyington's Marine "Blacksheep" fighter squadron of World War II, disappeared in the late 1950's after serving as a fighter pilot in Israel's fledgling Air Force and also after serving several years in an American penitentiary for robbing two banks in one day. Then journalist Robert T. Reed discovered that the "Wildman" was his biological father. And through an astute process of "investigative reporting," Mr. Reed has pieced together a thoroughly fascinating portrait of a gifted pilot, talented and sensitive human being and quintessential "free spirit." Mr. Reed's book constitutes a fine addition to the annals of those whom Tom Brokaw has designated America's "Greatest Generation." It's indisputable that the efforts of extraordinary men like Chris Magee were crucial in bringing victory to the Allied Powers in history's greatest conflict.
Excellent.......2002-08-14
If you are a fan of WW II VMF-214, "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and "Once They Were Eagles", this is a must read. Two stories in one. That of "Bandanna Maggie" before, during and after WW II. Also, a determined author's quest about a Marine hero he did not know until too long. Follow the trail of a Marine I'm sure Gregory Boyington admired as a great fellow warrior after the "big one" and his attepts to find himself in war and peace. (Success, or failure? Yes? No? You decide.) A remarkable book for those who are interested in the men of 214. As I said, if you liked the two first books mentioned, you will love this one written by the one man who would have done it.
Excellent Biography with an interesting twist.......2002-06-15
If, like me, you read Baa Baa Blacksheep and Once They Were Eagles, this is for you. The mysterious life and whereabouts of Chris Magee almost haunted me after reading Frank Walton's Once They Were Eagles. The information about Chris Magee in Walton's book and the fascinating letter it contains left many questions about Magee that begged for answers. I knew this would be an interesting book before I read it and I was not let down. I did not know it would be emotionally provocative. I won't spoil the surprises. Don't read too many reviews lest you not get the full effect. Pick it up soon.
A fascinating, superbly written biography.......2001-09-12
In Lost Black Sheep: The Search For WWII Ace Chris Magee, Robert Reed reveals saga of an extraordinary man in a real-life story of war and peace, crime and punishment. Chris Magee was one of the legendary Black Sheep Squadron under "Pappy" Boyington's command. He grew up with stories of World War I aviation heroes and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Chris transferred to the U.S. Marine Corps and went to the South Pacific where his personal bravery and skills as a combat flier earned him the Navy Cross and the respect of his peers. After the war ended Chris spent the next twelve years as a black marketeer, bootlegger, volunteer fighter pilot for Israel, courier for a covert American group involved in Latin American politics, and finally a bank robber. In his middle years he turned his life around and became a respected journalist. By age 70 he was living in retirement in a rustic apartment on Chicago's North Side. Then Chris found an envelope slipped under his front door with a note that compelled him to revisit parts of his past he thought long buried. Several of Magee's letters, poetry, and other writings are woven into the text (including a short story titled "Keep Moving". Lost Black Sheep is a fascinating, superbly written biography of a very unusual American unusal life.
Hits home.......2001-08-30
I received my copy of Bob's book two weeks after I had scheduled a trip to Waterbury Connecticut to the 56th reunion of my own father's WWII military group. My father passed away last year after a long battle with alzheimers, and I too was on a quest of sorts. I was never able to get my father to open up about his war experiences on the beaches of Normandy and beyond, and know now that their generation was truly the "great generation" of our time. This book really hit home. The content was interesting enough that I read the book at one sitting, and it provoked questions of a very personal nature to me. For those of us who are members of the "baby boom" generation I hope we all start asking our Fathers, Mothers, Uncles, Aunts - anyone with personal experiences about this remarkable time in our history to share their stories with us while they are able. We should also give them a sincere Thank You for their sacrifices.

A good reference work that should be reprinted.......2005-07-05
I generally agree with Ray Gronberg's review. I would have given this book 5 stars except for the polemic that Reynolds goes off on again and again regarding "traditionalist" vs. "meleeist" philosophies of naval warfare. He dumps on Adm. Spruance for being a traditionalist in the Mariannas operation. In so doing, Reynolds underplays how one-sided the American victory was in the Mariannas "turkey shoot" and in the invasion and occupation of the islands as well.
Also there is a parenthetical note regarding the F6F Hellcat that suggests that its design was influenced by the A6M Zero that was captured in the Aleutian Islands in June 1942. This zero wasn't completely evaluated until well into October 1942, and by that time, the Hellcat was already on the assembly lines.
Excellent !.......2005-07-04
If you want a good detailed one volume book about the Aircraft Carriers then here you go. I really liked because it mentioned the part of the Royal Navy took in the Pacific war. You almost never hear about the that and its not really fair.
The Fast Carriers: The Forgoing of an Air Navy.......2001-09-07
I am not able to rate this book because I have not received a copy yet. It was ordered back in Aug. 2-3 air delivered and I would take a used book but this is required reading material for me in the Navy. I have to have this book ASAP.

Evolution of U. S. fastr carriers forces during 1943-1945.......2000-08-30
This book is not a U.S. carrier development history in general. Although it touches some historical events before 1943, its focus really falls on the period of 1943 - 1945 when Essex class carriers became the backbone of U.S. Navy. The author provides a great mixure of internal politics and operation history to illustrate the emerging Air Navy's growing pains and delights. This is a well written book for history-oriented readers. Readers who are more into technical details should seek other books such as Norman Friedman's "U.S. Cruisers : An Illustrated Design History".
content.......2000-07-11
This book is light on the details of the fast carriers from a hardware view,and heavy on the inside politics of the us navy.The events involving the carriers during the war were well covered.
Book Description
In February 1945, some 80,000 U.S. Marines attacked the heavily defended fortress that the Japanese had constructed on the tiny Pacific island of Iwo Jima. Leaders of the Army Air Forces said they needed the airfields there to provide fighter escort for their B-29 bombers. At the cost of 28,000 American casualties, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Divisions dutifully conquered this desolate piece of hell with a determination and sacrifice that have become legendary in the annals of war, immortalized in the photograph of six Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi.
But the Army Air Forces' fighter operations on Iwo Jima subsequently proved both unproductive and unnecessary. After the fact, a number of other justifications were generated to rationalize this tragically expensive battle. Ultimately, misleading statistics were presented to contend that the number of lives saved by B-29 emergency landings on Iwo Jima outweighed the cost of its capture.
In The Ghosts of Iwo Jima, Captain Robert S. Burrell masterfully reconsiders the costs of taking Iwo Jima and its role in the war effort. His thought-provoking analysis also highlights the greater contribution of Iwo Jima's valiant dead: They inspired a reverence for the Marine Corps that proved critical to its institutional survival and its embodiment of American national spirit. From the 7th War Loan Campaign of 1945 through the flag-raising at Ground Zero in 2001, the immortal image of Iwo Jima has become a symbol of American patriotism itself.

Lessons For Today.......2006-08-30
Plain and simple, Robert Burrell indicts the Marine Corps Iwo Jima battle as a wasted effort. Burrell details how some of the top leaders of the US Navy, Army and Air Force planned a campaign with inadequate forces and poor strategy. A costly and bloody mistake was after the fact justified as military nescessity.
Burrell makes an excellent case for the sacrifice of Marines on Iwo as a crucible which formed the Corps into a permanent American institution. Bringing the Ghost of Iwo Jima into the light of today, Burrell illustrates the folly of poor leadership at the highest levels and how inter-service politics led to tragedy. The USMC emerges as both the victim and victor of Ghosts. A great read.
The ghosts of Iwo Jima are alive and well........2006-06-25
From those first words, "On the morning of 19 February 1945," through the final sentence, "The specters finally came home, and through the flag raising image, they will revisit our nation for eternity," I found myself glued to the written pages of Burrell's "The Ghosts of Iwo Jima. It is profoundly well written and thoroughly researched. Although the book contains little new information, it brings many things into proper context. Unfortunately, from the beginning I had the sensation the writer was pursuing his own agenda, and that was to condemn the Iwo Jima Campaign as unnecessary.
His analysis of the cost in human life versus the value of the island to the United States in winning the war left no doubt in the mind of the readers that the taking of Iwo Jima was questionable. However, other than to state that the Air Force felt they needed Iwo Jima as an airfield from which to provide fighter escort, there is no examination of the reasoning behind the decision to take Iwo Jima. The planners recognized a number of other advantages in having Iwo Jima and all of Nanpo Shoto under American control.
Burrell's failure to lift up the many benefits derived from having Iwo Jima in American hands does a disservice to the 6,821 men making the ultimate sacrifice on Iwo Jima. Their sacrifice was not in vain!!
Inter-service rivalry did raise its ugly head from time to time, but the four branches of services were dependent on each other. This rivalry never threatened their collective effort in their determination to bring the war in the Pacific to a victorious end. The Navy, Army, Army Air Force and the Coast Guard worked hand in hand with the Marine Corps in the capture of Iwo Jima. Burrell's notion that either General Arnold or General LeMay put the interests of the Air Force over defeating the enemy is not believable.
I hope other historians will reevaluate the emergency landings on Iwo and bring the benefit derived from those landings into proper perspective.
I have always credited Korean war Marines like General Ray Davis with preserving the Marine Corps we have today. As a survisor of the Iwo conflict, it gives me a warm feeling to think we, too, may have helped save the Corps as we know it today.

Excellent chronological reference source........2007-08-23
The book provides chronological capsule summaries of aircraft shot down or involved in accidents in SEA. Excellent concise reference source for anyone begining research on the various units involved. Took me awhile but I located the web pages from which the author obtained his information.
As history researcher for both 12th TFW and 35th TFW, the book is a welcome edition to my library of 4,000 books.

Viet Nam War.......2007-05-14
Growing up as an Air Force brat during The Viet Nam War, I found this to be a very interesting and historical book. I was able to learn what happened to some of my friend's fathers who were shot down, KIA or captured. My dad flew combat and I thank God that he made it home safe!
This was a very emotional book for me. God Bless all of our military men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice to serve our country, both past and present!
Absolutely Indispensable Guide to the Vietnam Air War!.......2006-11-08
Wow! Talk about value for the dollar!
This masterful guide chronicles the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps fixed wing aircraft lost over Southeast Asia from 1961 to 1973. Serious air war enthusiasts HAVE to have a copy of this book on their shelves; it's simply THE best book on the subject.
Hobson's book is far more than a day-to-day listing of losses. He provides an amazing amount of detailed information on each loss. Assembled from a wide variety of sources, each loss summary provides information on personnel and unit involved, location, cause of loss, etc.
Rather than a dry, statistical summary of losses, Hobson has fashioned an eminently readable, engrossing history of life and death over Southeast Asia.
Along with the loss summaries Hobson includes background information on different aircraft and weapons such as the F-105, A-7 and SAMs, search and rescue, etc. And there are useful appendices on topics such as USAF/USN/USMC order of battle, statistical summary of air losses, an extensive bibliography and so on.
If you're interested in the Vietnam War, buy this book. You won't be disappointed!
AC-47 Gunship Shootdowns.......2006-07-24
I am pleased with the book and the information it provided me, since I did take a active part flying three different types of gunships in SEA beginning in 1968 thru 1973. I did not find in my copy of VIETNAM Air Loses, probably the most infamous "shootdown" of all of the AC-47s, that being AC-47 Tail Number 770 in which Sgt John L. Levitow was awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor. This aircraft was Spooky 71 which was out of Bien Hoa Air Base near Saigon on the night of 24 Feb 1969. Can you tell me why the omission? I would also ask for your permission to extract certain information from the book for a project I am doing in regards to AC-47 and AC-130 air losses. Publishing credits will be given. Thank you, CMSGT Bruce H. Maine, USAF (Ret)

A must have book for any airplane driver who may have lost friends in 'Nam. It clarified a lot of rumor and misinformation I had heard through friends. I salute Chris Hobson (a Brit) for his fine work.
Book Description
The U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is an essential component of AmericaÂ's homeland security, as aircraft from this base patrols the countryÂ's border with Mexico as well as the international waters of the open Pacific. The Marines operated part of the base during World War II, when their island-hopping campaign was crucial to Allied victory in the Far East. The Navy took over operations on the base after the war and until 1997, when the Marines regained control and established both jet and helicopter squadrons there—the aviation combat units of the 3rd Marine Air Wing and the reserves of the 4th Marine Air Wing. During the Navy years, the popular 1986 Tom Cruise movie Top Gun was filmed on the base, which is the largest singular piece of dedicated land on the City of San Diego map.
