I read ‘Red Storm Rising’ and the F-19 in his book was nicknamed ‘Frisbee’ because it was supposed be mostly round to help it evade radar. The best part of the story was when they flew one right down a Russian rod to bomb a bridge! Clancy wrote some very good books and the new guy (Greany?) doesn’t do justice to those stories.

I’d still like to see Red Storm Rising turned into a mini series.

I re-read Red Storm Rising last year as well. That would have been a great movie.

Clancy had Larry Bond to help him.

Clancy was great at telling a story, but, Bond is a wargamer. He can recreate a battle on paper!
