Basher Five-Two: The True Story of F-16 Fighter Pilot Captain Scott O'Grady

Scott O'Grady, Michael French

Basher Five-Two: The True Story of F-16 Fighter Pilot Captain Scott O'Grady

Hardcover (Doubleday Books for Young Readers May 12, 1997)
U.S. Air Force pilot Captain Scott O'Grady was shot down in his F-16 over Bosnia while helping to keep the peace. The plane exploded, and Captain O'Grady fell 5 miles to the ground below. In exciting detail, Captain O'Grady tells how he evaded capture and how, with little water and no food, he was able to survive on his own in enemy territory. This is a thrilling look at an American hero--a hero not because the captain survived, but because of the skill, faith, and courage he displayed and the duty he fulfilled as a member of the armed forces.
