    Marrett Does It Again
  

*by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019*

George Marrett, an acclaimed aviator, Air Force officer, combat pilot and test pilot, has proven again that he’s among the elite of aviation writers. Yes, that’s because of the stories he tells, his personal experiences and those he’s known in the world of aviation. Yes, also, because he’s a fine writer. What a pleasure to read about these exciting and historical adventures from someone who is a master writer! Great, great tales from a really fine AF officer and gentleman. Thank you George Marrett for another wonderful book.

    George Marrett does it again!
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2009*

The first I heard of George Marrett was in reading a book about my favourite (the F-14 Tomcat).Mr Marrett having left the Air Force and Test Pilot program, wound up flying for the HughesAircraft company and subsequently went on to fly many hours in the Tomcat while developing thelegendary AIM-54 Phoenix/AWG-9 combination that was to give the Tomcat capabilities other aircraftcould only dream of. Mr Marrett recounts details of this program and others in the 3rd of threebooks he's written about his flying exploits - Testing Death.The next time I came across his name was when I ordered a book called Cheating Death and went onto read about his time flying the A-1 Skyraider (another favourite aircraft of mine) in Vietnam.I'm not reviewing that book here obviously, but if you haven't read it, I suggest you remedy thatsituation at your earliest convenience.So to Contrails Over the Mojave. This details stories of the heady days at Muroc/Edwards when thenewest, fastest, hottest aircraft were showing up to be rung out by the brave men of the test pilotfraternity. Mr Marrett details his own experiences and many of those experienced by his friends andcollegues. Many of the stories don't have happy endings for those involved as this was an inherentlydangerous occupaption. Many of the stories are amusing. ALL of them are compelling and well written.For anyone interested in flying, this is a great read. For those interested in military aviation,this is a must read.I highly reccommend this book to all and thank Mr Marrett for sharing his experiences with us.

    I highly recommend ALL of George Marrett's books
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2015*

I highly recommend ALL of George Marrett's books.  The are very entertaining and very informative.George Marrett's career as a combat pilot, and a military & civilian test pilot is one that maybe only a handful of pilots can approach.  His books will keep you anchored to your chair, forsaking all other activities, until you've read the whole thing - maybe twice.
