Paladins

A Phantom Pilot Comes of Age

By: Thomas Shaw

Narrated by: John Pitzer

The story of Nate Carson, a young Marine pilot and naval aviator just starting his military career in the early 1980s. Nate suffers a trauma during flight training that provides him the opportunity to find himself in the process of learning to fly and fight the F-4 Phantom.

The audiobook features gripping and realistic flying sequences and immersion into the challenges, dangers, camaraderie, and hilarity of squadron life as it was nearly a half-century ago.

Includes a section that exposes the listener to terminology, equipment, and jargon that were used by the brave pilots and RIOs who flew this historic aircraft. Former phantom pilots and RIOs will recognize and relive their own experiences and the places they worked and played.

Those looking at this world from the outside in will learn what it was like for those who experienced it: tragedy, romance, adventure, adversity, heartbreak, and redemption.
