I have to find this book! It's the TRUE story of an ejection at thirty-thousand feet through the middle of a torrential downpour. The heartpounding account is relived by the Marine himself; Lt. Col. William H. Rankin. Did I mention "failing parachute?" I can't find a copy for less than $60!

"THE MAN WHO RODE THE THUNDER" Must Find!
I have to find this book! It's the TRUE story of an ejection at thirty-thousand feet through the middle of a torrential downpour. The heartpounding account is relived by the Marine himself; Lt. Col. William H. Rankin. Did I mention "failing parachute?" I can't find a copy for less than $60!
The Punch Out
EJECT EJECT EJECT EJECT EJECT
Can't beat this NPR interview with author/pilot James Cross on his new book, "Punching Out." Cross details the "actual" events of a pilots ejection from an aircraft, and debunks any thought of pleasant emergency parachuting.
