Glen Edwards: The Diary of a Bomber Pilot is mostly
told in his own words, taken from the diary he kept from his first day as
an aviation cadet to the day before he died in the fiery crash of the
Northrop YB-49. As co-author, I introduce the man, bridge the gaps in his
diary, and explain the virtues and the drawbacks of the planes he flies,
whether as a bomber pilot in the North Africa desert or as an Air Force
test pilot at Wright Field and Muroc -- now known as Edwards Air Force Base.
"Ford ... is blessed with a splendid writing style
and understands the modern Air Force, wrote the
reviewer for Air & Space magazine.
