To Be a U.S. Naval Aviator (ISBN 0760321639)

A good synopsis of steps to becoming an active pilot:
For someone who is considering trying to join the navy as a pilot, I found this book very informative. It walks the reader from basic training up to joining the fleet at sea. It is filled with great pictures and plenty of details.

Son who is in Primary now:
Outstanding book that accurately depicts with excellent pictures and graphics. My son is undergoing the training now and we gave him the book for a while to assimmilate the information as well.

A well done recent dpiction of the Track for Naval Avation:
This is a well-done, picture book that takes you from the commissioning process (Academy, ROTC, OCS) to API and then through the different pipelines to the wings of gold. Seems most of the primary pictures came from Whiting, and the advanced portion is a little heavy on the Jet Syllabus- many pictures from Kingsville (written by a Jet Pilot) Overall a great picture view of the different phases of training. Makes a great gift for the family of a Naval Aviator for them to understand and see some of what takes place

A MUST READ for anyone interest in or wanting to become a Naval Aviator!:
This book is written by a Naval Aviator in layman's terms and provides an excellent source for information about and/or becoming a Naval Aviator. Each of the Navy "pipeline's" is discussed and illustrated with great photography.

To Be a U.S. Naval Aviator:
Good introduction to naval aviation training, but lacks the "human" element for nightly reading. If you like to read manuals and basic vanilla material, and are interested to learn the stages one goes through to become a naval aviator, then this book is a good read.
