Gods of Tin
The Flying Years
JAMES SALTER
A riveting combination of fiction, journals, and memoir. As the editors comment in the introduction, “It is, as record of the day-to-day, mission-to-mission life of a young fighter pilot, a remarkable document by any standard. But it provides as well a view into the crucible of a writer’s beginnings, like pencil studies that precede a painting, in which the essential qualities of the artist’s hand are unmistakable.’
