Captain Paul Corrigan, USN (ret.) is
the author of Last of the Aerial Gunfighters. According to the book description, “A story
of air combat in Korea and the experiences of a young fighter pilot and his wife as Ensign John Sullivan flies jets first
off the obsolete straight-deck aircraft carriers, and then joins his USAF comrades to engage the Russian pilots in MIG Alley
over North Korea. He becomes an Ace with five kills but is shot down over enemy territory on his 100th mission.
Last of the Aerial Gunfighters is an epic, earthy story of
fighter pilots. The stark reality of living in harm's way make the novel an excellent read for those who want to relive
or examine what makes pilots tick. It puts the reader in the cockpit in the early days of jets when pilots still flew the
airplane - and not the computer. A love story is woven around the combat events as lonely
separation tempts both John and his wife, Sylvia. On R & R in the Japanese Alps, John meets Sandra, a nurse from Tokyo.
Its love at first sight, but Sandra won't sleep with a married man. Later Sandra saves his life after he escapes from
North Korea.”
