title: Angles of Attack: An A-6 Intruder Pilot's War
author:  Peter Hunt 
description: &lt;b&gt;From the carrier launch in total darkness to the gut-dropping rolls through enemy antiaircraft fire, Peter Hunt puts you in the pilots seat for the flight of your life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Moments after Desert Storm began, bomber pilot Pete Hunt was in the air over the Persian Gulf. Hunt saw it all, and this is his electrifying account. Tested to the max, flying all night, every night for weeks on end, Hunt executed dozens of missionsfrom carpet bombing to dropping deadly five-hundred-pound cluster bombs with pinpoint precision; from supporting Marines on the ground to bombing fleeing Iraqis along the blood-soaked highway of death.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His A-6 jet was a wide-open target for the blazing antiaircraft fire streaking up to destroy it. Escaping this deadly blizzard of fire made setting the A-6 back down on a little deck in a big ocean seem almost easy. But Hunt, like the rest of his squadron, the VA-145 Swordsmenhonored as the premier Attack Squadron in the United States Navy for 1991was just doing his job: keeping America free.

I recalled too what Captain Valerie Dunn of the Corsica had said about her, about how "competent" a first officer Janice had been before her well earned promotion up to commander of the Huntress. 
  
        "Maybe," I breathed, eying the woods, waiting for the cross- bow bolt to strike me down. I felt very "vulnerable" just then. I had brought with us the entire force of archers. The Huntress standing ready to fire a deadly broadside into the woods beyond. I had no doubts that any attacker would pay a high price for us! 
  
        "Two dead, three wounded," she smiled. The en
