Tall Air
By D Stuart White
Matthew "Mathe" Stone and Jonathon "Finn" Finley find a common desire to challenge their world to the extreme, seeking Tall Air.
From their hilarious and frightful missteps as teenagers, through first loves, to their struggle to survive Naval Air combat in Vietnam, they couldn't have done it without each other. Explore the best and the worst in them in their razor-blade-edged odyssey.
Read the horror, sadness, and exhilaration of Jonathon Finley's father's remarkable WWII reflections of B-29 air combat and how it shapes and prepares young men to fight for the coin flip in their NAVAIR combat roller coaster in Vietnam—life, love, loss, and death.
"Thrilling, tragic, and funny in the extreme, Tall Air is highly readable and an irresistible and authentic account of an extraordinary friendship."
Join Mathe and Finn in their heroism and sacrifice as they reach for Tall Air throughout their lives.
It will make you proud.

True Blue
By D Stuart White
“Under the cool dimness of the ready room’s fixed sun of combat: the fierce and partisan overtones of leather and tobacco meddle with the stark silence of trepidation and excitement.
The sweat-soaked energy, a prelude to the impending ferocity, seeps as fawn grimaces shimmer along with the smoke of cigars and the barrels of guns.”
And then the warrior's exhilaration quiets and spirits dampen as thoughts of past lost warriors drift quietly through the room.

Tall Air - "It’s about youth and camaraderie and patriotism—a couple of kids who bucked the tsunami of the late sixties and fought hard to realize their goal of flying fighter planes in Vietnam.
I enjoyed the dose of WWII B-29 terror laced into the story, and the tragedy moved me toward the end. There is no doubt that the author flew the A-4.
You’ll enjoy this book -- I recommend it!”
