A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Jacksel Markham "Jack" Broughton (January 4, 1925 - October 24, 2014) was a United States Air Force officer and fighter pilot who retired with the rank of colonel in 1968. Over the course of his military career, he received 43 awards and decorations, including four Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Silver Stars, and the Air Force Cross for heroism. He was notably combat-qualified in every U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft from the P-47 Thunderbolt to the F-106 Delta Dart. Born in Utica, New York, Broughton graduated from Brighton High School in Rochester in 1942 and entered the United States Military Academy the same year under an accelerated wartime program. He graduated in 1945 and was commissioned into the United States Army Air Forces, completing flight training during his cadet years. Following his service, Broughton became an author, publishing two memoirs about the Vietnam War that were critical of U.S. air strategy and rules of engagement. He married Alice Joy "AJ" Owen in 1951, and they had four children.
