Synopsis "Night Fighter's Luck: Memoir of a Naval Aviator in World War II and Korea"

In this memoir, Commander James L. Brown, Jr., recalls, in vivid detail, his service flying night fighters in World War II and in Korea. As a naval aviator in the Pacific Theater, he flew F6F-5N Hellcats on dangerous missions and very narrowly escaped death multiple times. After World War II, he flew the F8F Bearcat as a reserve officer before being called up for active duty in Korea, where he flew the F4U Corsair on night attack "heckler" missions. Brown recalls all of the times that he probably should have died, saved by his skills as a highly trained aviator, pure luck, or, as he sometimes guessed, because there must have been an angel riding the cockpit with him. Throughout his memoirs, Jim is brutally honest with his emotions and his mindset when presented with the everyday life of living with war. As with many of his fellow aviators, combat fatigue contributed to a state of mind that several times almost got him killed.
