    Just finished the latest quarantine read. Incredible guy on many fronts.
    Free to anyone that wants it.
    PM me a mailing address.

    ((John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history. Some remember him as the greatest U.S. fighter pilot ever -- the man who, in simulated air-to-air combat, defeated every challenger in less than forty seconds. Some recall him as the father of our country's most legendary fighter aircraft -- the F-15 and F-16. Still others think of Boyd as the most influential military theorist since Sun Tzu. They know only half the story.)))

    We used his tactics and strategy in Desert Storm. Worked pretty well.

    Thanks for the recommendation
    I just finished the read and enjoyed it, courtesy of my local library.
    Glad to know Boyd’s story won’t be lost to time.
