ISBN: 9781593760069.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA singular life often circles around a singular moment, an occasion when ones 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.\n\nJames Salter is considered one of Americas 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. A former Air Force pilot who flew F–86 fighters in Korea, Salter writes with matchless insight about the terror and exhilaration of the pilots life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946575491125,"sku":"ByrdShop_159376006X","price":36.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781593760069_87401840-ccf1-436b-8e9d-a3d89cf24476.jpg?v=1778781094","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/gods-of-tin-the-flying-years-9781593760069","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
