Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

An American Renisance Man. Many sides, who changed warfare, business, aircraft design and more.
Col John R Boyd is the most significant American, you have never heard of. A favorite paraphrase "you will come to a point in your life where you must decide to be somebody or make a difference. He always choose to make a difference. He is a bookend to Sun Tzu. He would be very comfortable talking to T. Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Da Vinci, Clausowitz, Wright Brothers. Inventor of the OODA Loop, ME theory. Responsible for the Fighter Mafia in the Pentagon which gave design criteria for the F16. That led to the F18, F22, F35 by extension. Together with a Marine Col. the changed the maneuver strategy of our ground forces in Gulf War I and all that followed. His OODA loop is taught at all major universities across the USA.

Responsible for the Fighter Mafia in the Pentagon which gave design criteria for the F16. That led to the F18, F22, F35 by extension. Together with a Marine Col. the changed the maneuver strategy of our ground forces in Gulf War I and all that followed. His OODA loop is taught at all major universities across the USA. Not a scholar, he didn't write for journals. But the universities use his ideas. He taught himself calculus. Wrote the book on fighter tactics. Was never defeated in the air in dogfights. He gave 3 day briefing about the OODA Loop. Those discussions are still ongoing today. Many books are written about him and his ideas. This is long, but an easy fun introduction to Col Boyd. He died in 1997. Was buried at Arlington. The AF sent 1 general to his funeral. The Marines sent an armed platoon. His collective works are storied and honor at the Marine Corps University, in Quantico VA. Not at the Air University at Maxwell AFB Alabama. Boyd is a great read about a great American. I have given away copies of this book to friends. He made a difference. A huge difference.
