"Mr. Coonts, I like your new book, WAR IN THE AIR. I like the story about the last ace. It is the best book I have read in a long time... I am eight years old and in the second grade... I went to an air show in Norfolk, VA, this spring. It was neat and I think you would like it too. I like helicopters, planes and jets. Well, it's been nice to talk with you!" --Christopher David Caplinger "I just discovered your fascinating book, WAR IN THE AIR, and find it exciting reading. Many of these heroic pilots I have heard about and others are new to me--thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn of them... A book like yours keeps these people alive, and permits them to tell their story to those who would never know of them." --The Reverend Winston E. Clark

"I am a Lieutenant/Paramedic with the XXXXX Fire Department. I want to thank you for all that you have given me in your books. I had a heart attack recently and I was rather despondent and damn near suicidal. Anyway, I read FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER again and you managed to wake me up and get me off my ass. I just finished WAR IN THE AIR. Wow... I was awed and touched. Thanks for being there." --James B.

"Stephen "Master Writer" Coonts, I have just finished your excellent book of non-fiction aerial masterpieces. I plan on purchasing your newest novel, FORTUNES OF WAR. It sounds very appealing to me, I must say you are my favorite author ever. I'll make sure to bring a copy of one of your novels after I go to my Permanent Duty Station in the Army. I'm sure I will be kept on the edge of my seat reading your novels. Keep up the excellent work!!" --Joe Doyle Jr.
