摘要

Phantom Reflections explains how a conservative young fighter pilot went to Vietnam full of visions of glory and patriotism to fight for a just cause yet, after retiring as an Air Force colonel, came to feel that it was all for naught-a waste. Nevertheless, he says it was the "defining experience" of his life.rnMike McCarthy produces this memoir in a splendid writing style. Born in upstate New York into a physician's family, he got his college education (majoring in business) in Florida, but he claims that he had decided to be a fighter pilot at age 10. McCarthy entered the Air Force and graduated from pilot training at Webb AFB, Texas, as the Vietnam War moved towards its climax. He went through crew training in Florida in the F-4 Phantom, arriving at Ubon, Thailand, as part of the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing late in 1967.
