The Aircraft Carrier USS Bon Homme Richard was used in WW2 in the Pacific Theater.  The aircraft carriers brought the war to the enemy.  The aircraft carriers were super important for ground support and to soften the landings of our troops.  When an aircraft carrier was in the area, it was the main target of the enemy because of its super military capability.  Building aircraft carrier models and ship models in general, are a tremendous asset to the development of a kids mind.  It teaches the kids about construction practices, blueprint reading, and US History and Navy History.  Building Model Kits make a big help in developing a kids motor skills and mechanical knowledge.  There is not enough to be said about building ship models because it's an all around good training and learning experience for your kids, especially when it is supplemented by watching a good Navy Movie.  The two, A Model and a Movie fit together very well and will bring excitement to your kids model building experience.

Rampant Raider: An A-4 Skyhawk Pilot in Vietnam

Product Description

A member of Light Attack Squadron 212 s "Rampant Raiders," A-4 pilot Stephen R. Gray writes about his experiences flying combat sorties from the deck of an aircraft carrier during one of the most intense periods of aerial combat in U.S. history. From the perspective of a junior naval aviator, Gray reveals the lessons he learned first at the Naval Aviation Training Command and then in actual combat flying the Skyhawk from USS Bon Homme Richard in Vietnam.

Training strengthens commitment, Gray points out, allowing ordinary men like him to fly dangerous missions. Readers will discover how circumstances created heroe--heroes who managed to overcome their personal fears for a greater cause--and how, despite the lack of public support for the war, the men remained committed to one another. The book addresses how men react to service during contentious political times to offer lessons relevant today.


About the Author  STEPHEN R. GRAY became a flight instructor at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Beeville, Texas, after his aerial combat service in Vietnam. He left the Navy in 1972 and flew commercially for Delta Airlines for thirty years, logging more than twenty-four thousand flying hours. He lives in Hemphill, Texas.  ISBN-10: 159114342X
