An autographed hard cover soft bound "Fox Two" book by Randy "Duke" Cunningham the famrous first ace in Vietnam and now infamous congressman presently in prison.
The book was co-authored by Randy and Jeff Ethell.
I don't think Randy will be signing many books for a few years, and in spite of his mistakes, he was a great pilot.
"During his service, Cunningham became the first Navy ace in the Vietnam War, flying an F-4 Phantom from aboard aircraft carriers, and recording five confirmed kills, making him one of two U.S. pilots to "ace" in that war. He was one of the early graduates of the Navy's TOPGUN school that taught dogfighting techniques to F-4 Phantom pilots and RIOs. It has been alleged that Cunningham downed a MiG-17 piloted by Vietnamese fighter ace Col. Nguyen Toon. Although "Col. Toon" was a North Vietnamese manufactured myth the Vietnamese pilot was still a superb dogfighter.[6] "
