Flying Warrior Summary

Flying Warrior: My Life as a Naval Aviator During the Vietnam War by Jules Harper

Beginning as a young boy, Jules takes you through the unique process of becoming a Naval Aviator, engages you into his experiences as a brand new pilot in a combat squadron and, finally becoming a flying warrior. Having survived two combat cruises aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk from 1966-1968, compiling 332 career carrier take offs and landings, being shot at daily by enemy fire while completing 200 combat missions over Vietnam, he clearly shares the views of the aviators who flew along with him on these missions while fighting this unpopular war. Jules was awarded the Nation's Distinguished Flying Cross, 21 Air Medals, and many other accolades. After reading this book the reader will have a new understanding and appreciation about the Warriors who protect not only their comrades in arms, but the defense of the nation as well.

Flying Warrior Reviews

"Jules Harper's story is nothing shy of inspiring. As a professor, I was delighted to see students captivated by the gripping details of the many combat missions he flew and his vivid descriptions of the warplanes. It was as close as they could conceivably come to feeling what it was like to be in the cockpit with him. Mr. Harper is a gifted storyteller and real hero!" Dr. Robert Watson, Professor, Lynn University

About Jules Harper

Jules Harper is uniquely qualified to write about combat missions over Vietnam as he personally flew 200 combat sorties from 1966-1968. As the public affairs officer for his attack squadron, VA-112, stationed aboard the USS Kitty Hawk during this time period, he wrote many articles about his squadron mates' missions that were published not only in newspapers and magazines, but were also used in television shows. As a highly decorated Naval Aviator he has been the President of a Veteran's club, served on the board of directors for the Naval Air Historical Society located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, given presentations to other clubs, and companies have hired him to give inspirational talks to their employees.
