Dan Pedersen

When American fighter jets were being downed at an unprecedented rate during the Vietnam War, the U S Navy turned to a young naval aviator called Dan Pedersen. The programme he set up was called the US Navy Fighter Weapons School. It was known simply as TOPGUN. The hand-picked team of instructors - the Original Eight - were the best of the best. This is the thrilling story of how TOPGUN saw America reclaim the skies, by the man who created it.
