I got books on this stuff all over my house. Literally hundreds of them stuffed in all the corners. For around 200 bucks I would have really considered buying a copy.

Well since I found out about the book I've wanted a copy for about the last five years. All the other one were easily $500-$700. Gunther Rall is easily on the list of my top 5 fighter pilots. So when I came across the book for sale I couldn't say no.

Edit: if I do ever consider sailing I'll definitely post here first for you guys  :salute

AS much as I believe in sharing good fortune, I wouldn't let that book go! Pass it on down the family line!
