Book

Jet girl : my life in war, peace, and the cockpit of the world's most lethal aircraft, the F/A-18 Super Hornet / Caroline Johnson with Hof Williams.

Johnson, Caroline (Former Navy pilot), (author.). Williams, Tod Harrison, (author.).

Summary:

"A fresh, unique insider's view of what it's like to be a woman aviator in today's US Navy--from pedicures to parachutes. Caroline Johnson was an unlikely aviation candidate. A tall blonde debutante from Colorado, she could have just as easily gone into fashion or filmmaking, and yet she went on to become an F/A-18 Super Hornet Weapons System Officer. She was one of the first women to fly a combat mission over Iraq since 2011, and she was the first woman to drop bombs on ISIS. Jet Girl tells the remarkable story of the women fighting at the forefront in a military system that allows them to reach the highest peaks, and yet is in many respects still a fraternity." --Provided by publisher.
