Shifty’s Book

Our mutual bud Shifty has written a book, RELICS.  It’s for order on Amazon in paperback or Kindle.  I’ve just finished reading it.  It’s a great action/adventure read written with a lot of in-depth knowledge and research on all aspects of the story.  This is the best I’ve read in years.  It’s hard to put down once started.  In my humble opinion, one of the top tier movie directors should put this on the big screen. 

Well done Shifty!   :salute  :aok

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but a few of you may remember CVA64. He flew with the Air Mafia in Air Warriors, and made the switch to Aces High when that closed. He didnt fly long , but many of us stayed in touch with him through the years. He was always big on "his ship" the "Connie". Well it seems he wrote a book about his time aboard. For those interested in the "Last 50-Star Union Jack", check it out!

Thanks for the plug Puma, I'm sincerely happy that you and 1stpar3 both enjoyed the book.. Oh and don't be too hard on Arlo. If he didn't hijack, he wouldn't be a pirate.  ;)
