This inspirational novel tells the distinguished career of Captain J.C. Smith. Upon entering the Navy, J.C. earned the wings of a pilot. When circumstances took him away from this lifelong dream, he became a Naval Flight Officer, blazing the path for thousands who followed by pioneering the typical career path for this office. J.C. made a mark on history during his wartime cruises in the Vietnam War. Captain Smith was the founding and Commanding Officer of the Navy Fighter Weapons School, revealing the untold story of "Top Gun" in this book. The culmination of his career was as Commanding Officer during his command at sea. This is the true story of a man who overcame adversity to realize success he never thought possible.

"Captain Smith served his country in the most unselfish way, always looking out for his wingman, grooming young officers who would not have been successful without his mentorship, and always standing up for what was right. He's a true leader by example!"
—LCDR Mac Diehl

—Daniel Jenkins

J.C. was the Radar Intercept Officer in the Phantomwhich shot down the first MIG of the Vietnam air war and went on to establish the now-famous "Top Gun" air combat school at NAS Miramar."
—Roger W. Harris
