No Lilies or Violets, Reminiscences of a Fighter Pilot, the first book written by author Jonathan A. Hayes, is a fastpaced, inyourface trip into the world of an F4 Phantom II fighter pilot and his exploits during eleven years and three tours into the tumultuous Vietnam war. Hayes recounts his reminiscences forty years after the experiences, lending a mature insight into the raucous adventures of a man and his machine. Visceral recollections are dished to the reader in a shotgun of images. This is a man putting his life on the line numerous times a week, having to react at lightning speed in concert with pilots around him as they pursue the evermoving enemy in hostile and explosive environment. One of the weird things about aerial combat is how quiet it is. The air around you will be filled with explosions from antiaircraft shells and missiles and the only thing you will hear is your backseaters quiet breathing and the occasional radio transmission. You are totally cut off from the sonic part of your surroundings. They lived hard and played hard in an effort to maintain their sanity and balance so that could go out there and do it again the next day. No Lilies or Violets puts the reader in the mind of a fighter pilot. Daily ontheground routines are predictable, but the mind and body are always braced and torqued for the next bombing run. Join Hayes for a journey into war.

I wanted to love 'Reminiscences of a Fighter Pilot', but some parts dragged on. The author’s experiences are interesting, but the pacing could've been better. I still enjoyed the stories, just wish it was more concise.

A fascinating read for aviation enthusiasts
I bought this book, 'Reminiscences of a Fighter Pilot', for my dad who served in the Air Force. He couldn't put it down! The stories are gripping and give a real sense of what it was like to fly in combat. Highly engaging and well-written.

Incredible insights into flying history
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in aviation history. 'Reminiscences of a Fighter Pilot' was a gift for my husband, and he was amazed by the detail and authenticity of the stories. It’s a great addition to our collection.

Not what I expected
I was really looking forward to 'Reminiscences of a Fighter Pilot', but it arrived a bit damaged with bent corners. The content is decent, but my disappointment with the packaging really affected my enjoyment.
