A True Life Story of a USMC Fighter Pilot
Neil Levin writes about what he knows best
—flying and living life to the fullest! His
paperback autobiography, “An Angel Rode My
Wing,” has all the elements of any great action
novel—from being shot down over North Vietnam
and miraculously surviving, to mysterious and
mystical occurrences in his life. I read his
book in one sitting. I could not put down the
book until I read that last page—which will
bring tears to your eyes as he talks about his
granddaughter. I do not want to give away the
ending but the book is appropriately titled.
There is just enough of “the real” Neil exposed
in his book to allow you to see another whole
side of this career military leader and pilot.
I enjoyed reading it and found it so completely
different than all the other military stories I
have read over the last decade. Levin does not
take his story so serious. His good sense of
humor shows with an easy writing style. It is
almost like you are sitting down at the bar with
him and he is reminiscing with you about his
life. It feels that personal—kind of one on one
feeling between the writer and the reader. He
understates his combat actions and gives us a
wonderful insider view of those dashing aviators
who flew over North Vietnam.
This is a book that can be read by all age
groups. It is comfortable entertainment that
also presents some thought provoking issues
about marriage, divorce, children, out of body
experiences and even UFOs. MWSA gives this book
its top rating! A must read. |
