Book Signing: American MiG Pilot with Rob “Z-Man” Zettel

Book Synopsis:

In 1978, the USAF established what will forever be regarded as the greatest air-combat training squadron ever devised, and arguably, the best-kept secret of the Cold War—the 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron. Audacious in concept, the decade-long operation of a squadron flying top-secret Soviet MiGs from a remote Nevada airfield is the stuff of legend.
