Scot O' Grady: Basher Five-Two by Scott O'Grady and Michael French is a good book about Captain Scott O'Grady's time in Bosnia after his plane was shot down. The main chacter is Air Force Captain Scott O' Grady. Some of the things that that kept me reading were the obstacles Scott had to overcome. One of my questions as I read this book was, "Is somone going to rescue him?" I never knew what was going to happen next. This book is full of adventure and action. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about Air Force pilots who have survived plane crashes in enemy territory and people who like to read action and adventure stories.
Fantastic Account of USAF Fighter Pilot: Basher 5-2 is an excellent read for anyone looking for adventure. I myself can tell you that a man of Scott O'Grady's character really makes the book what it is. I reccomend pickin this up
O'Grady's adventure is gripping: I bought this book by mistake, since I realised rather late that it was a children's version of the more detailed ¨Return with Honor¨. O'Grady daoes not go into many details regarding his unit, enemy's weapons, or tactics but he gives an excellent account of his six days in the Bosnian countryside, where he survived by sheer willpower and clever attitude. He was lucky to be found by his buddies just as his physical strength was nearing its end. I really appreciated his insistence that he did not consider himself a hero and that he reserved this honor for the fallen comrades of the past. A nice read of a modern real-life adventure.
