Check My Six: So You Want to Be a Navy Pilot

Naval Aviation Cadets strive to win the coveted Navy “Wings of Gold,” at Pensacola, Florida. Two of the premier cadets, CHUCK CAPP and PETE PERVIS, complete opposites who dislike each other intensely, compete to see who will be number one. Humor, action, and tragedy weave a story of suspense that climaxes in a final deadly showdown. NavCads learn to fly the “Navy Way.” From solo to combat formation maneuvers, tensions increase. Fatalities occur, cadets resign, and some are washed out. It is not a program designed for the weak of heart. Camaraderie is built, due not only to a stressful training environment, but also on weekend liberty. Practical jokes, humor, and barracks antics fill out the evolution in the making of a Navy pilot. Come along, and live the life of a NavCad. Put yourself in their shoes and enjoy a story of exuberance, and dedication to a goal that few persons are able to experience.
