Synopsis

He can't shoot down the future, but his storied past is the key to his present.The Pilot loves fighter planes, a beautiful woman, and Paris. He is to fly the new F-35, but will its electronics erode his lone-wolf ethos? Complicating his life is a beautiful, mysterious French woman who may be a spy, or maybe someone much closer to him.The Pilot has mastered many fighters, from the treacherous Sopwith Camel to the stiletto F-104 Starfighter, from the Spitfire to the F-16 Viper. But, this challenge is different, with no obvious airborne answer. The Pilot re-flies classic combat missions, from the leaden skies of WWI to the sun-blasted Iraqi desert, while re-living past love affairs. Searching for answers, he taps the thoughts of Hemingway, Bobbie Burns, Churchill, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Robert the Bruce, von Richthoven, and Yogi Berra.Fast-paced in the City of Light, The Pilot; Planes Fighter and Paris delivers a mélange of air combat, aviation history, libido, and memories. The novel puts you in the cockpit and the bedroom, immerses you in Parisian ambiance, and answers the question, "Who is the Pilot?"
