Hello all,

Lately I've been intrigued by US Naval aviation. I've read several fiction and non-fiction books involving F/A-18 and F-14 operations, and have enjoyed them, but have been unable to find any books that focus on Lockheed S-3 antisubmarine operations.

If anyone could recommend a book, fiction or nonfiction, that involves flying the S-3, I'd love to hear about it.


Thanks,



-WN

WhiskeyNovember,

I have used these in the past, only the the Customs duty on the books, stopped me being a member, in your case no problem.

Hi W,N
Try a book called FEET WET by Paul T Gillcrist (Adm Ret) USN, isbn 1 85310 191 5 and published by Airlife. I dont know if he was involved with the S3 but he flew starting with Texans to F14s and it is a good read.
Good luck in your search :) :)
