Crash and Burn: The Survival Story of a Fighter Pilot - Softcover

In a split second Jack Wright’s life passed before his eyes as his F-100 fighter plane started to crash. In an instant, this young pilot realized he was about to meet his Maker, and he knew he was not ready. He had ignored God since he went on active duty in the Air Force.

As this massively burnt man lay in a military hospital refusing to accept the fact that his Air Force career may have ended, he pondered where his life would head. What had he been striving for and was it all worth it? Why had God so miraculously intervened to save his life?
