"SUPERSONIC COWBOYS"
The book had received great endorsements from Navy and Marine pilots, and civilians as well. Below
are a few reviews from folks who read "SUPERSONIC COWBOYS."
Ron ‘Astro’ Knott has produced an outstanding collection of heart-pounding, breath-taking,
true, heroic stories of Navy and Marine Fighter Pilots defying death, in and out of combat, and aboard aircraft carriers.
We get a close look at the "Last of the Gunfighters" -- Naval Aviators flying the giant dynamite stick with the fuze burning,
the vaunted Chance Vought F-8 Crusader. We ask ‘Astro’ to give us more exciting books of heroic, non-fiction,
Naval Aviation stories like "Supersonic Cowboys." --Ed "Mofak" Cathcart, LtCol USMC (Ret.)
Ron has composed gripping descriptions of heroic Fighter Pilot stories
that will keep you spellbound. Many of these daring ventures have never been told to the public.
--Captain Len Kaine, USN (Ret.)
In “Supersonic Cowboys” Ron reveals the excitement, heroism,
fear, and proficiency of flying Navy Fighters from the deck of attack aircraft carriers as only a Fighter Pilot could.
--Captain Jim “Fearsome” Foster, USN (Ret.)
“Supersonic Cowboys” gives the reader a unique look at the
inner workings of naval aviation from the cockpit of the supersonic F-8 Crusader. I was shocked to learn that every month,
over a thirteen year period (save one month), there was an ejection from the Crusader. Many of those stories are told in this
book. -- Randy Gunnip, (former Navy Fighter Pilot)
As a former combat Navy Fighter Pilot, who flew many missions over North
Vietnam, I can attest to the fact that “Supersonic Cowboys” is full of true life,
courageous stories, conveyed by heroic pilots about their near-death experiences. The script was literally written in their
own blood, sweat, and tears. This mesmerizing book will get your attention. -- Captain Len “Rocky” Johnson, USNR
(Ret.)
This book sparkles with authority and authenticity…yet it is accessible
to the layman. --Tommy Thomas, author of “How to Beat the Odds.”
As a former USN enlisted deck hand aboard the
U. S. Midway manually pushing fighter planes around on deck and later as a USAF pilot, I am thrilled with the message
this book gives readers about the bravery of our comrades that risked their lives for our country while flying them.--Earl
“Texas Admiral” King, Attorney At Law
As a civilian pilot, I absorbed
every story in “Supersonic Cowboys” with interest, curiosity, and awareness. This book is a must read for civilian
as well as military aviation enthusiast. --Tommy Keeton, Real Estate Executive
