A young man’s dreams of
becoming a fighter pilot and his experiences as part of the
United States Navy fighter community are recounted in the
evocative saga of Silver Step 210.
The ‘60s were a time of
transition in Naval Aviation as the first truly supersonic
operational aircraft entered the fleet.
Lt. Rick James had the
privilege of flying the Chance Vought F8 Crusader. A miraculous
aircraft for the time, it was capable of nearly mach 2 speed and
was highly maneuverable. The Crusader was a match for any jet
in operation at that time and the men who flew it were a select
group of highly professional and courageous individuals.
The stories collected here
recount the experiences of the men who rose to the challenge of
flying the mighty F8 Crusader in defense of our nation—men who
deserve to be remembered and honored.
