LIONS OF THE SKY
Paco Chierici
Braveship Books, 2018

Military Writers Society of America Gold Medal Award
Paco Chierici has written a humdinger of a book. He shows how hard it is to become a Naval aviator—the greatest pilots in the world—and how inherently dangerous this work is, even in training. Through vividly drawn characters, he takes us inside a Navy fighter squadron showing their incredibly difficult day to day lives, including the obstacles women still face in this tight knit community. This is a terrific window into a world very few people see.
— The Honorable Ray Mabus, 75th United States Secretary Of The Navy
I was absolutely catapulted into the action!  Paco put me right back in the cockpit and the Ready Room.  Lions of the Sky is intense, and personal, and thrilling. A must read!
— Lea Gabrielle, U. S. Diplomat, Journalist, and F/A-18 Naval Aviator
I was on the edge of my seat for the length of this “can’t put it down” novel…Without reservation, this one gets a 5/5 rating.
