Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Nickel On The Grass is a series of vignettes that capture the life of an extraordinary aviator, fighter pilot and leader, Colonel Phil Handley. In a career that spanned 26 years “Hands” earned a reputation as an exceptional pilot and leader in war and peace. I do not know anybody who served with him who does not admire him for his dedication, integrity and courage.
The central theme of the stories he relates is that the fraternity of true fighter pilots is made up of men who share a love of adventure, have exceptional flying skills, are willing to risk all rather than admit defeat and believe earning the respect of their peers is their greatest accomplishment. The really good ones possess a sixth sense about people and machines that gives them an edge over mere mortals in the air and on the ground. This is a book about a man who lived most of the stories and counts among his friends and acquaintances the central characters in the others. It has been my privilege to have been his friend and fellow fighter pilot for the past 30 years.
General Ron Fogleman, USAF, Ret. Chief of Staff, USAF, 1994–1997

Nickel on the Grass: Reflections of a U.S. Air Force Pilot is a worthy read that confirms the bravery of our fine Air Force pilots in both peacetime and war. These stories are interesting, inspiring, thoughtful, heartwarming, and funny. I've had the extreme honor and pleasure of meeting the author, and this book is a fine tribute to him as well as the honorable and brave men he served with defending our nation. It's obvious that this book is more about the men who fly rather than just about their aircraft. I wanted to read the book in one session, but forced myself to read a story a day until I was finished. These are stories to be savored and enjoyed. Col. Handley is a true gentleman warrior and his book should be enjoyed by all who admire heroes.
