Summary of robert mason's chickenhawk

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had dreams of flying as a child. In 1962, after two years of sketchy attendance at the University of Florida, I dropped out to travel around the country. In 1964, I applied to be a pilot candidate in the army. #2 The flight program was nine months long. It began with one month of preflight training and four months of primary flight training at Fort Wolters, followed by four more months of advanced flight training at Fort Rucker, Alabama. #3 I had to go before the board, which was made up of other officers, to be evaluated for flight school. I had failed the first week of preflight training, and my instructors said I wasn't interested in participating seriously when I was selected to be the student company commander. #4 I was called back to the office after the first round of preflight. The board's decision to reinstate me had ruined the studentinstructor ratio at the flight line. I was told to start preflight all over again with the next class.
