About this ebook

U.S. Air Force pilot Captain Scott O'Grady was shot down in his F-16 over Bosnia while helping to keep the peace. The plane exploded, and Captain O'Grady fell 5 miles to the ground below. In exciting detail, Captain O'Grady tells how he evaded capture and how, with little water and no food, he was able to survive on his own in enemy territory. This is a thrilling look at an American hero--a hero not because the captain survived, but because of the skill, faith, and courage he displayed and the duty he fulfilled as a member of the armed forces.

Ratings and reviews

This was a story that I was already familiar with. The book is geared toward a younger audience. It is not an action book based on a Holiwood fantasy. It's a pretty straight forward story of a pilots survival experience.

Great first person story of true American hero survivor Scott O'Grady shot down over Bosnia. I remember his story in the news when I was a teenager. Now 20 years later I read the book after watching behind enemy lines. Teared up at the part of his rescue. Good short read

I read this book in high school and it has been my favorite book ever since then.
