Ward Carroll flew F-14 Tomcats for fifteen years after graduating from the US Naval Academy. He was named Naval Institute Press Author of the Year in 2001 for his novel Punk’s War, the first book in the Punk trilogy, followed by Punk’s Wing and Punk’s Fight. He is also the host of the popular Ward Carroll YouTube channel.
After producing, directing, and engineering spoken word recordings for over twenty years, Paul Heitsch began narrating audiobooks in 2011, and has recorded many bestselling titles as both himself and under a pseudonym. A classically trained pianist, Paul is also a composer and sound designer, and is currently the director of music for the James Madison University School of Theatre and Dance, and an adjunct instructor for the JMU School of Music. He and his family live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia (although Chicago will always be his hometown).

You want to cut through the hip deep BS, by many writers who have never heard a shot fire in anger (and or possibly never flown in comb......more
This is a really excellent series by Ward Carroll. The accuracy and detail of the flying preparation, planning, take off’s, landings and air combat is outstanding. Clearly his personal experiences have served him well in this series. A fourth in the series is due around May 2025, I’m waiting in anti......more
