Indianajon Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Hey Reflected, happy Christmas and a merry New Year. I hope you have a good one and it's a great year ahead. At Christmas I got an old book 'Super Carrier' by George Wilson. It follows his opportunity to do a cruise on the USS Kennedy in 1983-84, a routine tour that ended up off Lebanon following the Beruit bombing. It largely follows the F14 and A6 crews and I think it could definitely form the basis for a decent campaign for either aircraft, especially the A6 when it arrives. Definitely worth a read if you get the chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indianajon Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Hi @Reflected its kind of a memoir. The author himself was a reporter who was given access and free reign to talk to anyone, he stayed on the boat, swapping state rooms on occasion to get closer to different groups. The sqns involved were the Tomcatters and Red Rippers for the tomcats and the Sunday Punchers and Buckeyes flying the A6. The crews slowly relax to him and end up taking him under their wing and using him as a confessional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
