Gods of Tin by James Salter
A former Air Force pilot who flew F-86 fighters in Korea, James Salter writes with matchless insight about the terror and exhilaration of the pilot's lifeA singular life often circles around a singular moment, an occasion when one's life in the world is defined forever and the emotional vocabulary set. For the extraordinary writer James Salter, this moment was contained in the fighter planes over Korea where, during his young manhood, he flew more than one hundred missions.
James Salter is considered one of America's greatest prose stylists. The Arm of Flesh (later revised and retitled Cassada) and his first novel, The Hunters, are legendary in military circles for their descriptions of flying and aerial combat.
James Salter has written nine volumes, including A Sport and a Pastime, Dusk and Other Tales, which won the 1989 PEN/Faulkner Prize, and Burning the Days: Recollection. Kay Salter is a journalist and writer who has contributed to magazines such as The New York Times and Food & Wine. Fabrice Moireau is a graphic artist, illustrator, and set and product designer who lives in Colorado and Long Island. With his wife and children, he resides in Olivet, France.
