Flight of the Westwind, Paperback/Russ Protentis

In 1968, the battle in the skies over North Vietnam was a culmination of training, equipment, skill, and mostly luck. Both on the part of Navy Lt. Tony Nargi, his wingman, and the pilots in the MiGs. The terror in the skies would last but a moment. The thrill would last a lifetime. The addiction to the adrenaline of the uncertainty of life and death would send Tony on a trajectory he'd never imagine himself. Life had a few surprises ahead for Lt. Tony Nargi, but first he had to deal with the MiG 21 in his sights... In the ensuing years, he would face a total destruction of his life ending in a Federal Prison sentence. But the dedicated work of a Federal Agent named Russ Protentis would open an opportunity for Tony Nargi to redeem himself, and win a major victory in the war on drugs. This is their story.
