Meer over het boek

Already a legend in the Air Force, Matt Pontowski surprises everyone by accepting a humdrum assignment to wind down a lame duck Reserve fighter squadron of A-10s consigned to the bone yard. Instead, he swiftly revitalizes the squadron just as a civil war explodes in southern China. The president and his devious national security adviser search for a "China Option" to both exploit and control the situation, and send in Pontowski's squadron as the new American Volunteer Group, reminiscent of the famed Flying Tigers of World War II. While it is a minor sideshow on the world stage, it is anything but for the Americans caught up in the way of war. .
