Bully Able Leader: The Story of a Fighter-Bomber Pilot in the Korean War
When the Korean War erupted in June 1950, George Loving knew what he had to do: get in the fight. A P-51 Mustang ace during WWII, Loving was serving in the U.S. Air Force at a stateside base when the call for pilots came down. The Young officer didn't hesitate to volunteer, and within a month he was in Korea.
With straightforward honesty, Loving's memoir describes the months he spent flying North American F-51D Mustangs and Lockheed F-80 Shooting Stars on 112 combat missions from August 1950 to June 1951. From the cockpit to the operations tent, Bully Able Leader captures the heart-pounding intensity of aerial combat as well as the ebb and flow of the Korean War. For Loving, who wrecked his share of havoc on the enemy, survival was the measure of success.
