CHAPTER SEVEN

Rite of Passage

I had never been where I could be shot at – at least to my knowledge, and I was about to do just that; fly deliberately into harm’s way, where someone sought to kill me. I had no idea what was going to happen and did not have the questions to pose. Not surprisingly, none of the old hands felt compelled to enlighten us. They knew that any flight into enemy territory had the potential for turning deadly, but seldom did. And that was the secret.
